Question

cu2O electronic dot structure

Answer 1

Cu₂O  is two coppers and one oxygen. When you do reverse cross, you find that the charge on copper is 1+, and the charge on oxygen is 2-. Since oxygen is 2-  it requires two electrons to be satisfied. Each copper molecule needs to lose one electron, in total losing two electrons. The picture I have attached shows the steps!

If there is anything you would like me to change when I am explaining, let me know, if there is anything I did well, also feel free to let me know.
