No...theres only Copper I and Copper II cations
Copper is the cation (+) and sulfur the anion (-).
Copper (II) Sulfate, is an ionic compound. If that is what you are asking. Anytime you have a metal that has a number in parenthesis after it, you're going to be using ions. The number in paranthesis is what indicates the charge on the ion. For example, Copper (II) would have a charge of +2.
Copper ......
Example: copper(II) sulfate - CuSO4(II) is the valence of the cation, in this case Cu(II).
Only copper of these listed donates electrons and becomes a cation.
The blue color of copper salt solutions such as copper nitrate are due to the copper cation.

Copper is the cation (+) and sulfur the anion (-).
For the cation the formula is Cu2+.
The cation is the metal "Cu", otherwise known as the element Copper.
The Roman numeral following the cation tells you the oxidation number of that cation. For example, Cu(ll)chloride tags you it is CuCl2 because the (ll) after Cu indicates an ox. no. of 2+.
Elemental, or metallic copper, has the formula of Cu. The most common copper cation is Copper (II), or Cu2+, however, copper can also exist in oxidation states +1, +3, and +4, which would be Cu+, Cu3+, and Cu4+, respectively.
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.
Because the cathode is where reduction takes place, meaning the it gains electrons. When it gains electrons, it attracts the copper cation (Cu^2+) and as the copper cation reaches the cathode, it picks up the electrons from the cathode, and is deposited as solid copper (Cu). This results in the cathode gaining mass over time.
The ionic bond is formed between Cu2+ cation and CO32- anion.
