Copper oxide is a solid at room temperature because it has a strong ionic bond between copper and oxygen atoms, which creates a stable crystalline structure. The attractive forces between the positively charged copper ions and negatively charged oxide ions are significant enough to keep the compound in a solid state. Additionally, the arrangement of these ions in a lattice structure contributes to the solid's stability and high melting point.
