CuCl2 is an ionic compound with two elements, copper and chlorine. Chlorine is a halogen, part of Group XVII, and copper is a transition metal, of Group XI.
The metallic ion in cobalt(III) bromide is Co3+ (cobalt with a +3 charge).
When CuCl2 is mixed with NH3, a complex ion called [CuCl2(NH3)4]+ is formed. In this complex, each ammonia molecule (NH3) replaces two chloride ions in CuCl2, resulting in a coordination number of 4 for copper (Cu). This forms a blue-colored solution due to the formation of the complex ion.
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.
The anion in CuCl2 is chloride (Cl-).
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.
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.
