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(I) oxide or cuprous oxide has the formula Cu2O, not to be confused with copper(II) oxide or cupric oxide (CuO) which is the other stable oxide of copper.
