Since it is called copper chloride, seems pretty obvious it's going to be copper.

Name the ionic compound for CuCl?
This is the formula for copper I chloride.
What is the ionic compound name for CuHCO3?
copper (III) chloride Added: It is very unlikely that CuCl3 exists: The only two possible oxidation states of copper are I (cuprous, Cu+) and II (cupric, Cu2+) and if it doesn't exist then it has also NO name! Correction on the above. It does exists it is just very unstable and will switch back to Cu(II)Cl2 it is used to create the Cu(I)Cl because it is very unstable in the Cu(I)Cl and will easily form into the copper 2
What is the ionic compound name for KCI?
I think KCI ionic compound name is Potassium Chloride.
What is the name of the ionic compound CrCl3?
Chromium (III) chloride
What is the element name of the cation in the compound CuF2?
The cation is the metal "Cu", otherwise known as the element Copper.
Name the ionic compound for CuCl?
This is the formula for copper I chloride.
What is the name for CuCl2?
The compound is copper (I) perchlorate Cu(ClO4) The similar compound, copper (II) perchlorate is Cu(ClO4)2
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.

Is copper chloride an ionic compound?
No. Copper carbonate is a compound. As a rule of thumb if a substance has a two-part name it is probably not an element unless one of those word refers to its state (i.e. solid, liquid, gas, vapor)
What is the compound name for CuCl3?
Copper (III) chloride. Note that this is theoretical compound copper does have a +3 oxidation stae in some complexes but does not from compounds such as CuCl3. The only halides known are +1 oxdtn state:- CuCl, CuBr, CuI +2 oxdtn state : CuF2, CuCl2, CuBr2
What is the name of the ionic compound Cu2Ci2?
Cu2Cl2 is cuprous chloride or copper(I) chloride, and the formula is normally written as CuCl.
What is the compound name for cuci2?
cuci2 is nothing. CuCl2 with a lowercase L is copper II chloride.
The compound CuCl2 is named copperII chloride explain why a roman numeral is used in one name but not the other?
In the chemical formula CuCl2 it is obvious for a neutral ionic substance that copper has a +2 charge, since Cl only comes in -1 charge, but in the stock name of copper chloride, it is unclear whether it is CuCl2 you are talking about or CuCl, which has a +1 Copper, thus in the name, the charge of the metal is differentiated by the roman numeral in parenthesis after the metal. This stock system (using numerals) is much easier to read than the previous traditional system of naming the higher charge metal with the -ic ending and the lower charged metal with the -ous ending, where CuCl2 and CuCl would be cupric chloride and cuprous chloride, respectively.

What is the name for the compound CaCl4?
The ionic compound with the formula unit CaCl2 is calcium chloride. Generally, when you name an ionic compound composed of a metal and a nonmetal, the name of the metal is first and is not altered. The nonmetal is named second and the end is changed to the suffix -ide.
What is the ionic compound name for KCI?
I think KCI ionic compound name is Potassium Chloride.
