Why is copper (i) sulfate Cu2So4^-2? not copper (ii)?

Chemistry

Copper (I) oxidation state is 1 Cu2So4
copper (II) oxidation state is +2 CuSo4
copper (i) also give up one electron so you need two of them to react with the sulfate ion (which has charge of -2)
and also all metallic ions have an multiple oxidation levels corresponding to the number of electrons they can exchange or loose
Hope this helps

<h2>Answer</h2>

This is because Copper (I) has +1 charge and Copper (II) has +2 charge.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

The chemical formula of an ionic compound consists of cation first, followed by anion. Both cations and anions are incolved to make compound to be nutral or charge entity for example Cu2SO4 is cuprous compound contain Cu (I) where two Cu give only one electron as  

Cu is cation and SO4 is anion

SO4 has a valency of -2

So, Cu2 has a valency of +2

But in Cu (II), The single copper gives two electron to SO4 and form CuSO4 compound named as copper sulphate.

These metalls are called transition metals who can change their oxidation states

24.08 x 10^23 atoms of Boron (B) is equal to how many moles of Boron?
padilas [110]
1 mole ----------- 6.02 x 10²³ atoms
? mole ---------- 24.08 x 10²³ atoms

moles B = ( 24.08 x 10²³) x 1 / 6.02 x 10²³

moles B = 24.08 x 10²³ / 6.02 x 10²³

= 4 moles

Answer B

.What threatens the newly hatched chicks?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

rats. that's all i know of Just about everything except the mother hen if they are natural hatch. Even when you incubate them there are threats. The healthy chicks will mob the weak ones, the older chicks (even by a day) will pick on the younger ones. Temperature extremes will threaten them as they need warm, humid conditions with gradual drops in surrounding temps in the brooder box. Early disease is sometimes a problem and all chicks should be started on medicated chick feed for the first few weeks to prevent several digestive diseases. Even the water dispenser can be a threat as newly hatched chicks will immerse themselves in an open water container so care should be taken to supply water in a self feeding covered dish.
