Answer:

Explanation:

Cupric ion is copper in its higher oxidation state and cuprous ion is copper in its lower oxidation state.

Thus in order to convert +2 oxidation state to +1 oxidation state, it needs to gain electron and thus the reaction is called as reduction reaction.

The type of reaction when cupric ion converts into cuprous ion​ is reduction.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

M\rightarrow M^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

M^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow M

Cupric ion is Cu^{2+} and cuprous ion is Cu^{+}.

Thus when Cupric ion Cu^{2+} is converted to cuprous ion Cu^{+}, reduction takes place.

Cu^{2+}+e^-\rightarrow Cu^{+}
