Question

Can carbon form Cu+ or Cu- ions. Justify anwer with suitable reason

Answer 1

Answer:

no carbon can not form cu 4+andcu4-

Explanation:

Because copper has four valenced electron in outer most shell so to complete octect it needed 4 electron

it can neither lose nor gain electron because if it gain four electron than 6 proton can not hold 10 electron

it can not lose four electron because it needed more energy .

so it overcome this problem by sharing four electron by another carbon
