What is the valency of cupric and cuprous ion?

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.


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)
