A copper ions has a positive charge, most commonly 2+.
Since Oxygen has an ion charge of -2 & Copper has a 2 as a subscript, it means that Copper's ion charge will be +1. Cu2O = Copper (I) Oxide
Both are Cupric ( Cu-II ) alkaline complex-ion solutions
CuCl2(s) = Cu^2_(aq) + + 2Cl^-(aq) In solution the chloride anions )Cl^-) are colourless ; see also dissolved common salt (NaCl) So it must be the copper cations (Cu^2+) that gives the colour blue.
It is normally written Cu(H2O)3. It is a copper ion surrounded by three water molecules.CopperHydrogen6Oxygen3
Cu the ion of copper is generally Cu 2+
Cu2+ + 2AgNO3 --------> Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag+, due to high charge density for Copper ion as compare to Silver ion the reverse is not possible in aqueous solution.
Cu^2+
copper (I) carbonate The carbonate ion has a -2 charge. Since the formula given is Cu2CO3, it indicates there are 2 Cu atoms required to fulfill the carbonate ion's needs. This means the Cu ion must be of the Cu+1 species.
Cu+
Cu-------Cu2+ + 2 e-
If the reaction includes copper (II): Cu + 2AgNO3 yields 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2 If the reaction includes copper (I): Cu + AgNO3 yields Ag + Cu(NO3) Then spectator ions are dis regarded: 2Ag[ion] + Cu[metal] --> 2Ag[metal] + Cu[2+ ion]
Copper(II) ions are double positively charged (2+), while hydroxide ions (OH) are singly negatively charged (-1). There must be 2 hydroxide ions per copper ion in a neutrally charged ionic structure. Thus Cu(OH)2
The Sulfate, SO4
These are the ions and their charges: Cu+2 SO3-2The charges have to add up to zero, so one +2 copper ion cancels out one -2 sulfite ion. Therefore, the formula is CuSO3.
