Copper oxide has two different forms. The first is a red power, Copper (I) oxide. Otherwise known as cuprous oxide or Cu2O. The second is a black powder, Copper (II) oxide. This is also known as cupric oxide or CuO.

∙ 6y agoThere are two possibilities. Copper(I) oxide would be Cu2O and copper(II) oxide would be CuO. Both are ionic solids, but copper has two possible valence states. Oxygen, however, is a very predictable -2 in ionic scenarios.

∙ 12y agoThere are two different copper oxide formula's:
2Cu + O2 -> 2CuO (black Copper(II) oxide)
or
4Cu + O2 -> 2Cu2O (red Copper(I) oxide)

What is the balanced formula for copper plus oxygen-----copper oxide?
There are two different copper oxide formula's:2Cu + O2 -> 2CuO (black Copper(II) oxide)or4Cu + O2 -> 2Cu2O (red Copper(I) oxide)
What is the formula for copper (I) oxide.?
Copper(I) Oxide: Cu2O (cuprous oxide)orCopper(II) Oxide: CuO (cupric oxide)it can be both.
What is the correct formula for copper?
The correct formula for copper(I) cyanide is CuCN.
Cuprous oxide formula?
Cuprous oxide or copper I oxide is Cu2O
What is the formula of copper (II) oxide?
The formula for copper(II) oxide is CuO. This is the commonly met black powder. Copper(I) oxide also exists. This is a red powder, and its formula is Cu2O where the 2 should be a subscript.
Copper 2 oxide formula?
Copper(II) oxide: CuO
Write a word equation for copper oxide?

What is the formula for copper(II) oxide?
Copper(I) Oxide: Cu2O (cuprous oxide)orCopper(II) Oxide: CuO (cupric oxide)it can be both.
Do copper oxide and cupric oxide have same molecular formula?
no
What is formula of copper oxide?
CuO
What is the formula for copper oxide and hydrogen sulphate?
copper oxide- CuO hydrogen sulphate- h2SO4
What is the compound Cu20?
Cu2O, where the 2 should be a subscript, is copper(I) oxide or cuprous oxide to give it its old name. It is found naturally as the ore cuprite. It is a red-brown powder, whereas the copper(II) oxide we see when copper is heated is black.
