Cu(OH)₂, or copper(II) hydroxide, is an inorganic compound consisting of copper ions (Cu²⁺) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻). It typically appears as a blue solid and is commonly used in various applications, including as a pigment, in water treatment, and in the synthesis of other copper compounds. In terms of its chemical properties, it is amphoteric, meaning it can act as both an acid and a base.

Is cuoh2 a weak base?

Yes, Cu(OH)2 is considered a weak base. It partially dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions, which can accept protons and decrease the acidity of a solution, but it does not fully dissociate like strong bases such as NaOH.

I'm sorry about the lack of readability in this question - Wiki Answers eliminated all the punctuation (parenthesis) necessary for the problem - maybe a better question to post would be "Why does Wiki Answers find it necessary to eliminate punctuation when it's part of a question?" This flaw is a detriment to the usability of the site - other answer sites don't have punctuation regulated so severely.


Is Cu(OH)2 ionic or covalent?

Cu is a metal and OH- is a an ion consisting of two nonmetals A compound is almost always ionic if it is a metal bonded with a nonmetal. Thus, CuOH2 (Copper(II) Hydroxide) is ionic.


Is CuOH2 a molecular compound?

Cu(OH)₂, or copper(II) hydroxide, is not classified as a molecular compound. Instead, it is an ionic compound composed of copper ions (Cu²⁺) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻). In ionic compounds, the bonding occurs between charged ions rather than through shared electrons, which is characteristic of molecular compounds. Thus, Cu(OH)₂ consists of a lattice structure of ions rather than distinct molecules.
