HEY USER HERE IS UR ANSWER..........

Cupric oxide is considered "fully oxidized," while cuprous oxide is still in an active state. ... Copper needs to oxidize to reach the same level of toxicity, and while cupric oxide is oxidized, it's in a more stable oxidationstate so it doesn't wreak the same havoc as his brother, cuprous oxide.

HOPE IT HELPS, DONT FORGET TO MARK BRAINLIEST.......
