The charge of a copper ion is +2 ....>> or +1 (this is a more abundant oxidation state)

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

What is the formula for copper bromide containing the CU plus ion?

The chemical formula for copper bromide containing the Cu+ ion is CuBr. This compound consists of a copper cation with a +1 charge (Cu+) and a bromide anion with a -1 charge (Br-), thus requiring one atom of each element to balance the charges.

What is the molecular formula of copper acetate?

Copper ethanoate in solution consists of two parts: Ethanoate ion: CH3-(COO)- (to note this has a negative charge on the COO represented by the - and a bond after CH3 also represented by a -) This has only single bonds from both oxygens to the carbon, the charge is then spread across the two oxygens and the carbon making the molecule polar and soluble Copper ion: Cu2+ ions have a 2+ charge and so are in solution (generally anything with a charge will be in solution) When this is dehydrated the copper ethanoate is formed as a precipitate using 2 ethanoate ions and 1 copper ion to give a charge of 0 throughout the molecule. The formulae of this is Cu(CH3COO)2 and for some reason i cant get subscript and superscript to work on this so you will have to assume its there.
