In the mineral called Cuprite
cuprous oxide :)
Cuprous oxide or copper(I) oxide. This is copper in oxidation state '1'.
The ionic bond between cuprous (Cu+) and oxide (O2-) ions involves the transfer of electrons from the cuprous ion to the oxide ion to form an electrostatic attraction between the positively charged copper ion and the negatively charged oxygen ion. This results in the formation of cuprous oxide (Cu2O).
Cu2O is Copper(I) oxide or Cuprous Oxide.
The correct chemical formula for copper oxide is Cu2O for copper(I) oxide (cuprous oxide) and CuO for copper(II) oxide (cupric oxide).
I think cuprous oxide has a charge of 1+, while cupric oxide has a charge of 2+. Cupric oxide is also more stable than cuprous oxide.

Copper (I) Oxide or Cuprous Oxide
The formula for cuprous oxide is Cu2O. It is a red-brown colored solid that is commonly found as a mineral in nature and is used in various industrial applications.

The ionic bond between cuprous (Cu+) and oxide (O2-) ions involves the transfer of electrons from the cuprous ion to the oxide ion to form an electrostatic attraction between the positively charged copper ion and the negatively charged oxygen ion. This results in the formation of cuprous oxide (Cu2O).
Copper (II) oxide or cupric oxide: CuO.Copper (I) oxide or cuprous oxide: Cu2O.
No, it is either a red powder (cuprous oxide) or a black powder (cupric oxide)
Cu2O is Copper(I) oxide or Cuprous Oxide.
Copper(I) Oxide: Cu2O (cuprous oxide)orCopper(II) Oxide: CuO (cupric oxide)it can be both.
Cuprous oxide or Copper(I) oxide is found as the reddish mineral cuprite.
