Copper(I) chloride is the correct name for CuCl.
In CuCl, copper is in +1 oxidation state, So that is a d10 system and the d-orbitals are completely filled. Hence colourless.
Copper(I) chloride.
It is indeed possible to write a correct chemical formula for copper chloride, which can exist in two primary forms: copper(I) chloride (CuCl) and copper(II) chloride (CuCl₂). The difference arises from the oxidation states of copper; in CuCl, copper has a +1 charge, while in CuCl₂, it has a +2 charge. Therefore, the appropriate formula depends on the specific oxidation state of copper being referred to.
The molar mass of copper chloride is 98.999 g/mol.

The compound that is copper(I) chloride is CuCl.
CuCl is copper (I) chloride, where copper has a +1 oxidation state. Cu2Cl2 is copper (II) chloride, where copper has a +2 oxidation state. The difference lies in the oxidation state of copper present in the compounds.
Copper(I) oxide: Cu2O Copper(I) chloride: CuCl Copper(I) sulfide: Cu2S
There are two different copper chloride compounds, due to the two possible 'oxidation state numbers' (+1 and +2):CuCl cuprous chloride, Cu(I) chloride, mono-valent Copper chlorideCuCl2 cupric chloride, Cu(II) chloride, bi-valent Copper chloride
The cation in CuCl is copper (Cu+).
Copper(I) chloride is the correct name for CuCl.
CuCl is not an element on the periodic table. It is a chemical compound consisting of copper (Cu) and chlorine (Cl). Copper is a transition metal with symbol Cu and chlorine is a halogen with symbol Cl.
Examples: CH4 and C2H6, CuCl and CuCl2, NaO and Na2O, etc.
In CuCl, copper is typically found in its +1 oxidation state, while chlorine has a -1 charge. Therefore, the overall charge on CuCl is 0.
Copper Chloride
The formula rm CuCl3 is not reasonable because copper typically forms stable compounds with a +1 or +2 oxidation state. The correct formula for a stable copper chloride compound would be rm CuCl or rm CuCl2.
