What is the difference between 1 copper and 2 copper?

Answer 1

Copper is one of the transitions metals that is known to form ions of different charges. Copper I is Cu+ with a single positive charge and Copper II is Cu2+ with two positive charges. The Roman numerals indicated the amount of positive charge for a transition metal.

Answer 2

One obvious difference is that copper(II) hydroxide exists and is a well known compound whereas copper(I) hydroxide has never been synthesised.

The main difference would be in the charge on the copper atom. In copper(I) hydroxide the copper atom would be present as Cu+. In copper(II) hydroxide copper is present as Cu2+ .The pale blue solid can be prepared by adding base to a copper(II) salt. It is not a stable compound, it readily forms copper(II) oxide.

Answer 3

The difference between 1 copper and 2 copper is that 1 copper represents a single unit of copper, while 2 copper represents two units of copper. In terms of value or quantity, 2 copper is double the amount of 1 copper.

Answer 4

Copper fluoride, CuF - the Cu has a charge of +1, the F has a ionic charge of -1 Copper(II) Flouride, CuF2 - the Cu has a charge of +2, the F has an ionic charge of -1.

Answer 5

the number next to copper (eg Copper II) indicates the number of valance (outer level) electrons that element has. in this case, copper.
