Copper oxide has two different forms. The first is a red power, Copper (I) oxide. Otherwise known as cuprous oxide or Cu2O. The second is a black powder, Copper (II) oxide. This is also known as cupric oxide or CuO.
There are two possibilities. Copper(I) oxide would be Cu2O and copper(II) oxide would be CuO. Both are ionic solids, but copper has two possible valence states. Oxygen, however, is a very predictable -2 in ionic scenarios.
There are two different copper oxide formula's:
2Cu + O2 -> 2CuO (black Copper(II) oxide)
or
4Cu + O2 -> 2Cu2O (red Copper(I) oxide)
Two copper oxides are known: CuO and Cu2O.
The chemical formula for copper oxide is CuO.

copper oxide- CuO hydrogen sulphate- h2SO4
The formula for cuprous oxide is Cu2O. The formula for copper is just Cu, although many copper items are not pure copper.
Copper Oxide
There are two different copper oxide formula's:2Cu + O2 -> 2CuO (black Copper(II) oxide)or4Cu + O2 -> 2Cu2O (red Copper(I) oxide)
Copper(I) Oxide: Cu2O (cuprous oxide)orCopper(II) Oxide: CuO (cupric oxide)it can be both.
The correct formula for copper(I) cyanide is CuCN.
Cuprous oxide or copper I oxide is Cu2O
The formula for copper(II) oxide is CuO. This is the commonly met black powder. Copper(I) oxide also exists. This is a red powder, and its formula is Cu2O where the 2 should be a subscript.
Copper(II) oxide: CuO
The chemical formula for copper oxide is CuO.
Copper(I) Oxide: Cu2O (cuprous oxide)orCopper(II) Oxide: CuO (cupric oxide)it can be both.

CuO
copper oxide- CuO hydrogen sulphate- h2SO4
Cu2O, where the 2 should be a subscript, is copper(I) oxide or cuprous oxide to give it its old name. It is found naturally as the ore cuprite. It is a red-brown powder, whereas the copper(II) oxide we see when copper is heated is black.
