CuCl2 is Copper (II) chloride , otherwise known as 'cupric chloride'.
The '(II)' indicates the oxidation state of the copper in the combination. Two of copper's electrons are involved with combining with the chloride ions; one electron to each chloride ion.

What are the formulas for the compounds called copper (I) chloride and copper (II) chloride?
The formula for copper(I) chloride is CuCl, where copper has a +1 oxidation state. The formula for copper(II) chloride is CuCl2, where copper has a +2 oxidation state.

Chemical Formula of Copper Chloride is CuCl2
What is the chemical formula for copper 2 chloride and phosphoric acid forms copper phosphate?
The chemical formula for copper(II) chloride is CuCl2 and for phosphoric acid is H3PO4. When copper(II) chloride and phosphoric acid react, copper phosphate is formed, which has the chemical formula Cu3(PO4)2.
What is the ionic compound for CuCi?
The ionic compound for CuCl is copper(II) chloride. Copper (Cu) forms a 2+ cation, while chlorine (Cl) forms a 1- anion, resulting in the formula CuCl2.
What is the proper formula unit for the combination of copperII ions and chloride ions Cl?
The proper formula unit for the combination of copper(II) ions and chloride ions is CuCl2. In this compound, each copper ion carries a 2+ charge (Cu^2+) and each chloride ion carries a 1- charge (Cl^-). The subscript 2 in the formula indicates that two chloride ions are needed to balance the charge of one copper(II) ion.

Chemical Formula of Copper Chloride is CuCl2
Why is it not possible to write a correct chemical formula for the compound copper chloride?
It is indeed possible to write a correct chemical formula for copper chloride, which can exist in two primary forms: copper(I) chloride (CuCl) and copper(II) chloride (CuCl₂). The difference arises from the oxidation states of copper; in CuCl, copper has a +1 charge, while in CuCl₂, it has a +2 charge. Therefore, the appropriate formula depends on the specific oxidation state of copper being referred to.
What do you write to name of a compound written as Cu0?
This is the formula for Copper (II) Oxide Copper has two possible oxidation numbers (+2 or +1) since there are no written subscripts for in the formula CuO, copper's oxidation number must have been +2 (If it had been +1, the formula would be Cu2O and the name of the compound woould be Copper (I) Oxide)
What is the chemical formula for copper 2 chloride and phosphoric acid forms copper phosphate?
The chemical formula for copper(II) chloride is CuCl2 and for phosphoric acid is H3PO4. When copper(II) chloride and phosphoric acid react, copper phosphate is formed, which has the chemical formula Cu3(PO4)2.

The subscript 2 in the formula indicates that two chloride ions are needed to balance the charge of one copper(II) ion.
What is wrong with the chemical formula copper chloride?
The problem with your question is that "Copper chloride" is not a chemical formula; it is the name of a chemical compound. However, I understand what you are asking. The problem with the name "copper chloride" is that it is ambiguous. One must be able to write an unambiguous chemical formula from the compound's name and vice versa, but that cannot be done here since "copper chloride" can be either CuCl or CuCl2.Oxidized copper exists either as Cu+1 or as Cu+2. In other words, the copper atom has lost either one or two electrons. "Chloride" is chlorine with a -1 formal charge, thus it takes either one or two chloride ions to create [the neutral compound] copper chloride.For metal ions, the name of the ion with the highest oxidation state has the suffix "-ic" and the ion with the lower oxidation state possesses the suffix "-ous." That means that copper chloride is actually either cupric chloride, CuCl2, or it is cuprous chloride, or CuCl.
Write the empirical formula of copper chloride based on the experimental data?
The empirical formula of copper chloride is CuCl. This is because copper has a +2 charge and chloride has a -1 charge, so one copper ion combines with two chloride ions to form copper chloride.
