the charge (1+, 2+ etc) is just how many electrons the copper has lost.

So losing one electron makes the Cu atom have a charge of 1+

losing another electrons means it has a charge of 2+ etc

The example reaction you state is not balanced in terms of charge - the left hand side has an overall positive charge while the right hand side has no charge, so you may need to balance this with an electron

the main difference is the no. of ions

the cu2+ has last it's 2 valence electron
the cu+ has lost its 1 valence electron
