Best Answer

Chlorine and copper combine to form either copper(I) chloride, CuCl, or copper(II) chloride, CuCl2. Copper(I) chloride is also called cuprous chloride, and is a white solid that is not very soluble in water. Copper(II) chloride is also called cupric chloride and is a yellowish-brown solid that is soluble in water.

Added:

Chlorine will make copper to be oxidized. Cupric chloride will be formed.

Cu (-2e-) + Cl2 (+2e-) --> CuCl2
