Mark me as brainliest.
The main difference between cuprous and cupric is that cuprous is copper +1 cation whereas cupric is copper +2 cation. When copper is reacted with oxygen, two stable compounds Cu2O and CuO form. Copper Oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula CuO (Figure 1) also known as 'cupric oxide'.
