Copper sulfate is an ionic bond. This is because copper is a metal, and oxygen and sulfur are non metals.

Does CuSO4 have an ionic or covalent bond?

Copper (II) sulfate is ionically bonded.


Is copper sulfate a covalent compoand?

Ionic compound, with ionic bond between Cu2+ and SO42- ions.


What kind of bond is copper sulfate?

metallice bonding ================ Rather than metallic bonding, some might assume the bonds between copper and sulfate to be ionic. Keep in mind that there are no 100% ionic compounds. Bonds are not either ionic or covalent. Instead bonds like along a continuum and have characteristics of both. The bonds within the sulfate ion are clearly more covalent than ionic. So we are more concerned about the bonds between copper and oxygen. We can determine the percent ionic character in a bond from the electronegativity difference and this equation: %ionic character = 100(1-e(-DEN^2/4)) The electronegativity difference between copper and oxygen is 1.54. That translates to a bond that is about 45% ionic. Therefore, the bonds in copper (II) sulfate are more covalent than they are ionic. The bottom line is that solid copper (II) sulfate exists in a lattice of SO4 units and copper atoms in which the copper atoms are polar covalently bonded to oxygen.


What is the type of bond in copper 2 sulphate?

The bond in copper(II) sulfate is primarily ionic, between the copper ion (Cu2+) and the sulfate ion (SO4 2-). This means that copper(II) sulfate is an ionic compound, where the copper ion is attracted to the sulfate ion through opposite charges.


Is it possible for copper to have both ionic amd covalent bond?

Yes, as transition metal it is able to form hydrates (up to five) which are covalent while sulfate ions are ionically bonded in Copper(II)-sulfate-pentahydrate.


Why is copper II sulphate an ionic or covalent bond?

Copper II sulfate is an ionic compound because it is formed by the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged copper ions and the negatively charged sulfate ions. Ionic bonds are typically formed between a metal and a nonmetal, whereas covalent bonds are formed between two nonmetal atoms sharing electrons.
