What is the valency of cupper?

Its Valency = 2the formula being CuOThe copper donates two electrons to the oxygen and forms one ionic bond.Added:There are two copper oxides, differing in color:if it is black powder, then it is copper(II) oxide CuO (cupric, more common, as in the mineral 'tenoriet')if it is red powder, then it is copper(I) oxide Cu2O (cuprous oxide, as in mineral the 'cupriet' and it occurs in 'Benedict's test' on reducing sugars)


Why is copper Sulphate also written as copper II Sulphate?

Copper(II) sulphate is written like this because here II denotes the oxidation state of copper or in simple language, it denotes its valency.Copper sometimes shows +1 valency and sometimes +2.So to specify, its valency in a compound, the valency is written in brackets.

Out of the non-metals you listed, nitrogen (N) is the only one that does not exhibit variable valency. Zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe) can exhibit variable valency in certain compounds.


How do you take out valency an element?

Group number 1 = Valency 1+group number 2 = valency 2+group number 3 = valency 3+group number 4 = valency 4+ and 4- (some cases) group number 5 = valency 3-group number 6 = valency 2-group number 7 = valency 1-group number 8 = valency 0For the transition elements they will either state Copper (III) Sulphate or it will be like Cu2(SO4)3You can find the valency by the base of sulphate and you know its positive because metals are always positive and are written in the left.Source: I am a GCE O Level Sciences Student (O2)
