Question

Why cu+ ion is not stable in aqueous solution?

Answer 1

In an aqueous medium, Cu2+ is morestable than Cu+. This is because although energy is required to remove one electron from Cu+ to Cu2+, high hydration energy of Cu2+ compensates for it. Therefore, Cu+ionin an aqueous solution is unstable. It disproportionates to give Cu2+ and Cu
