What is the compound name for CuCl3?
Copper (III) chloride. Note that this is theoretical compound copper does have a +3 oxidation stae in some complexes but does not from compounds such as CuCl3. The only halides known are +1 oxdtn state:- CuCl, CuBr, CuI +2 oxdtn state : CuF2, CuCl2, CuBr2
What is the charge on a copper chloride ion?
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 CuClOn 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.

Formula for hydrated copper 2 chloride?
Hydrated copper(II) Chloride - CuCl2.5H2O
What is wrong with the chemical formula copper chloride?
The problem with your question is that "Copper chloride" is not a chemical formula; it is the name of a chemical compound. However, I understand what you are asking. The problem with the name "copper chloride" is that it is ambiguous. One must be able to write an unambiguous chemical formula from the compound's name and vice versa, but that cannot be done here since "copper chloride" can be either CuCl or CuCl2.Oxidized copper exists either as Cu+1 or as Cu+2. In other words, the copper atom has lost either one or two electrons. "Chloride" is chlorine with a -1 formal charge, thus it takes either one or two chloride ions to create [the neutral compound] copper chloride.For metal ions, the name of the ion with the highest oxidation state has the suffix "-ic" and the ion with the lower oxidation state possesses the suffix "-ous." That means that copper chloride is actually either cupric chloride, CuCl2, or it is cuprous chloride, or CuCl.

How many chloride ions are present in a formula unit of magnesium chloride given the charge on a mg ion is 2 plus?
Chloride ions have a charge of 1-. Since the charge on an Mg ion is 2+, the formula unit of Magnesium Chloride is MgCl2. There are 2 chloride ions for each Mg ion.

Barium ion, with a charge of +2.
What happens at the particle level when copper chloride is put into water?
When copper chloride is put into water, it starts dissociating. The molecule of copper chloride breaks up to give a cuprous ion(Cu2+) and 2 Chloride ions(Cl-). The water molecules weakly dissociate to give hydrogen ions(H+) and Hydroxyl ions(OH-). The oppositely charged ions interact and form a weak bond known as hydrogen bond. This interaction results in the copper chloride dissolving in the water.
