Explain Why Cu2+ having electronic configuration 3d9 is more stable than Cu+ having electronic configuration 3d10
#No spamming explain neatly

Cu2+ is more stable than Cu+ and the stability depends on the hydration energy with which they bond with water molecules.
Explanation:
Cu2+ is more stable than Cu+ and the stability depends on the hydration energy with which they bond with water molecules.
Cu2+ has greater charge density than Cu+, therefore it forms a stronger bond and release high energy when breaks down.
In aqueous solution Cu+ disproportionate to Cu2+ and Cu+
The reaction is given below.
2 Cu+ ----> Cu2+ + Cu
