As there are two of them, the charge on the copper ion is 1+ to balance the charge of the oxygen (2-).

Does salt contain a metal and a nonmetal?

Yes. Salt contains a metal ion and a nonmetal ion bonded together by an ionic bond.


What is the charge for CuO?

Since Oxygen has an ion charge of -2 & Copper has a 2 as a subscript, it means that Copper's ion charge will be +1. Cu2O = Copper (I) Oxide


What kind of ion does oxygen become when it combines with a metal?

Oxygen becomes a negatively charged ion, specifically the oxide ion, when it combines with a metal. The oxide ion has a charge of -2.


The charge of chloride ion in salt?

The chloride ion in salt has a charge of -1. It is derived from an atom of chlorine that has gained one electron to achieve a full outer electron shell, resulting in a negative charge.

What is a substance composed of a metal ion and a nonmetal ion?

An ionic compound is a substance composed of a metal ion and a nonmetal ion. The metal ion donates electrons to the nonmetal ion, forming a stable electrostatic attraction between the positively charged metal ion and the negatively charged nonmetal ion. This results in the formation of a lattice structure in the solid state.


What is the net charge of a copper ion?

it varies. since its a transition metal, it can have pretty much any positive charge since its a cation. however the most common charges are 2+ and 4+ No: it should be +1 or +2Correction added:In Cu2O the ion charge is Cu1+, (cuprous oxide, Cu(I) oxide, oxidation state +1) color brownish red (or yellow, depending on how fine the particles are)In CuO the ion charge is Cu2+, (cuprous oxide, Cu(II) oxide, oxidation state +2) color black


Are there any metal elements in salt?

All inorganic salts are composed of a metal ion (or an ammonium ion) and an acid radical ion. Table salt for example is composed of a sodium ion and a chlorine ion (the radical ion of hydrochloric acid).Organic salts (called esters) may or may not contain a metal ion. Organic salts that do not contain a metal ion, its role is taken by an alkaloid radical ion.


What is the metal present in potassium chloride?

It's NOT the metal as such but positive ion of the metal: Potassium, the K+ ion together with the negative chloride ion: Cl- they form the salt potassium chloride: KCl You see, it's always in the name of the salt
