Question

what is the oxidation state of cu2+​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the reaction, the oxidation state of copper changes from +2 in the Cu2+ ions in solution to 0 in the atoms. comprising metallic copper. Each Cu2+ ion must gain two electrons to become a Cu atom.

Answer 2

The oxidation state of Cu²⁺ is two, and is discussed below -

• Cu²⁺ is the most common oxidation state of copper. This ion is formed by the loss of two-electron.
• The +2 oxidation state is more common than the +1 oxidation state, and the Copper (+2) is usually found to form a blue hydrated ion.

Oxidation state -

• The oxidation state is the number that is assigned to an element in a compound, and this number represents the number of electrons lost or gained.

• If the element loses the electron, then the number is denoted as positive, and when the element gains the electron, the oxidation number is denoted as negative.
