"Cuprous" is an archaic term for what today is called copper (I), Cu+1.
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)
cuprous oxide :)
The formula for ammoniacal cuprous chloride is CuCl.NH3.
The valency of lithium is 1. It has one valence electron in its outer shell.
The formula for cuprous hydrogen carbonate is Cu(HCO3)2.
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.

The cuprous sulfide - Cu2S - is black.
a cuprous ion has 28 electrons.
The chemical formula for cuprous fluoride is CuF.
Actually, the answer Cu(NO3)2 is incorrect for cuprous nitrate. Cu(NO3)2 is in fact cupric nitrate. Cuprous nitrate is represented as CuNO3 alone.
The chemical formula for cuprous arsenide is Cu3As.
Cuprous salts are typically white or pale yellow in color.
The charge on cuprous ion is +2. It is written as Cu2+.
I think cuprous oxide has a charge of 1+, while cupric oxide has a charge of 2+. Cupric oxide is also more stable than cuprous oxide.

The formula for ammoniacal cuprous chloride is CuCl.NH3.
