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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the chemical formula for Copper II dihydrogen phosphate?
CuH2PO4 - this is wrong! The correct answer is: Cu(H2PO4)2
What color is the flame when you burn copper II chloride?
A: If you put a piece of copper wire on any type of flame (most preferably cooking flames), then you would observe that they produce a green color in the flame. Sometimes, it might give youa blue tinge but if it doesn't, it doesn't mean that there's something wrong with the copper you're using.
Why is the answer barium II carbonate wrong for the formula BaCO3?
The answer, barium II carbonate is wrong for the formula BaCO3 because barium has only one possible charge.
What are the ions and the correct formula for magnesium oxide?
the ions are 67 and one half since the molecular structuere
What is the chemical formula for tin IV oxide?
It is SnO2Why? Because:Tin has a charge of 4 and Oxygen has a charge of 2. Their charges are switched to make a compound; therefore, the chemical formula would be written as Sn2O4. Then, you have to simplify that so it would be written as SnO2.

What is wrong with this chemical formula CaCl2?
The chemical formula CaCl2 represents calcium chloride. It is correct as it shows that the compound contains one calcium atom and two chlorine atoms.
What is wrong with RbCl2?
The chemical formula RbCl2 is not correct because rubidium chloride (RbCl) typically only forms 1:1 stoichiometry where one rubidium ion is matched with one chloride ion. Therefore, the correct formula for rubidium chloride is RbCl.
What is the name of the chemical hydrogen chlorine and oxygen?
i dont think it is possible for that compound to form but i could be wrong
What is wrong with copper chloride?
Copper chloride can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, causing irritation to the respiratory system and digestive tract. It can also be corrosive to the skin and eyes. Additionally, improper disposal of copper chloride can lead to environmental pollution.
Decomposition of FeCl3 to FeCl2 where am i going wrong?
Iron(III) chloride can react with iron or copper and form iron (II) chloride.
What will happen if the wrong chemical symbol or formula is used in a chemical equations?
So it is wrong equation .Symbols are very important
What is wrong with the chemical formula i2Ca?
The chemical formula i2Ca is incorrect because the element symbol "i" is not recognized in the periodic table. The correct chemical formula for calcium iodide is CaI2, where calcium has a +2 charge and iodine has a -1 charge.
I am trying to work out the feasability of FeCl3 decomposing to FeCl2 but can't see where im going wrong?
Iron(III) chloride can react with iron or copper and form iron (II) chloride.
