What is the valency of cupric and cuprous ion?
Copper want to give up it's valence electrons, therefore it is a positive cation when ionized. Answers appear to be 1+ and 2+. Typically metals have positive ions. The charge of copper can be determined by evaluating the anion charge(s) and then solving the cation side.
What number is the positive charge in a cuprous ion?
The charge on cuprous ion is +2. It is written as Cu2+.
Does cuprous oxide have a charge?
I think cuprous oxide has a charge of 1+, while cupric oxide has a charge of 2+. Cupric oxide is also more stable than cuprous oxide.
