When a copper ion bonds with chlorine, it bonds with 2 chlorine atoms, because copper has a charge of 2+ (?? cf. Added answer below) and chlorine a charge of 1-
So to balance each other, the final formula is CuCl2 one copper ion to two chloride ions. The overall charge on any ionic bond is 0. They bond because they balance each other.
Added:- Cuprous chloride (Cu(I)-chloride) is sparingly soluble in water, but very soluble in concentrated hydrochloric acid as a complex ion of CuCl2-, in which Cu is +1 charged, and Cl has -1 charge. The white solid crystal is CuCl
- On Cupric chloride (Cu(II)-chloride) there are many more possible complex ions. for this you are referred to the 'Related links' left below this answer page.
