copper oxide is a molecule / compound.
Copper (I) Oxide or Cuprous Oxide
CuO = Cupric Oxide Cupric = Cu2+ and is not Cu The correct answer would be CuO = Copper Monoxide Copper (II) oxide is the name of the compound CuO.
Rust? The two different types of bonds between the copper and oxygen in copper oxide are: Copper(II)Oxide CuO Copper(I)Oxide Cu2O
There are two different copper oxide formula's:2Cu + O2 -> 2CuO (black Copper(II) oxide)or4Cu + O2 -> 2Cu2O (red Copper(I) oxide)
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.
Copper(II) oxide or cupric oxide or black copper oxide has 2 atoms per molecule: 1 copper atom and 1 oxygen atom. Copper(I) oxide or cuprous oxide or red copper oxide has 3 atoms per molecule: 2 copper atoms and 1 oxygen atom. These are the only stable oxides of copper.
CuO ==== One atom of copper. One atom of oxygen. ( assuming the usual 2 oxidation state of copper )
In CuO the oxidation state of Cu is +2 and is called cupric oxide, or copper-II oxide (do NOT pronounce as dioxide).In Cu2O the oxidation state of Cu is +1 and is called cuprous oxide, or copper I oxide or di-copper oxide.
Copper (I) Oxide or Cuprous Oxide
CuO = Cupric Oxide Cupric = Cu2+ and is not Cu The correct answer would be CuO = Copper Monoxide Copper (II) oxide is the name of the compound CuO.
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper
Copper has two oxides. Copper (I) oxide is red, while Copper (II) oxide is black.
This will depend upon which version of copper oxide you have - copper I oxide or copper II oxide. For copper I oxide: H2SO4 + Cu2O --> Cu2SO4 + H2O For copper II oxide: H2SO4 + CuO --> CuSO4 + H2O
Rust? The two different types of bonds between the copper and oxygen in copper oxide are: Copper(II)Oxide CuO Copper(I)Oxide Cu2O
copper oxide---> copper + oxygen
Cuprous oxide or copper(I) oxide. This is copper in oxidation state '1'.
There is only one kind of atom in a lump of any element. That's because elements are, elementary and only contain one atom - in this case, the Copper atoms. However lumps of most things contain more than one atom, because they will contain more than one element inside them. For example: a lump of steel may contain Iron and Carbon atoms.
