The Transition metals can have variable charges depending on what they are bonded to. In this example the Copper atom is deficient by two electrons one for each Chlorine atom.

The compound CuCl2 is named copperII chloride explain why a roman numeral is used in one name but not the other?

In the chemical formula CuCl2 it is obvious for a neutral ionic substance that copper has a +2 charge, since Cl only comes in -1 charge, but in the stock name of copper chloride, it is unclear whether it is CuCl2 you are talking about or CuCl, which has a +1 Copper, thus in the name, the charge of the metal is differentiated by the roman numeral in parenthesis after the metal. This stock system (using numerals) is much easier to read than the previous traditional system of naming the higher charge metal with the -ic ending and the lower charged metal with the -ous ending, where CuCl2 and CuCl would be cupric chloride and cuprous chloride, respectively.


How can a Roman numerals in a chemical name be used to write a chemical formula?

The Roman numeral following the cation tells you the oxidation number of that cation. For example, Cu(ll)chloride tags you it is CuCl2 because the (ll) after Cu indicates an ox. no. of 2+.

Explain why the name for MgCl2 is magnesium chloride but the name for CuCl2 is copperII chloride?

They are identical - bonding two elements to form a binary compound. The only difference is that copper can be found as copperII or copperIV so it's correct to specify which one, that's all. Save with Pb (lead) and other unique metals/nonmetals.

Copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) is not a base; it is a salt that is composed of copper(II) cations and chloride anions. It is an ionic compound that can dissociate in solution to form copper ions and chloride ions.


What is the proper formula unit for the combination of copperII ions and chloride ions Cl?

The proper formula unit for the combination of copper(II) ions and chloride ions is CuCl2. In this compound, each copper ion carries a 2+ charge (Cu^2+) and each chloride ion carries a 1- charge (Cl^-). The subscript 2 in the formula indicates that two chloride ions are needed to balance the charge of one copper(II) ion.
