2+<\/sup>) have?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe elements that have 1, 2, or 3 electrons in the last shell donate the electrons in the last shell during bond formation. The elements that form bonds by donating electrons are called cation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two types of copper ions. The copper atom exhibits Cu+<\/sup> and Cu+2<\/sup> ions. The copper atom donates an electron in the 4s orbital to form a copper ion(Cu+<\/sup>).<\/p>\n\n\n\nCu \u2013 e\u2013 <\/sup> \u2192 Cu+<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\nHere, the electron configuration of copper ion(Cu+<\/sup>) is 1s2<\/sup> 2s2<\/sup> 2p6<\/sup> 3s2<\/sup> 3p6<\/sup> 3d10<\/sup>. The electron configuration of copper ion shows that copper ion(Cu+<\/sup>) has three shells and the last shell has eighteen electrons(3s2<\/sup> 3p6<\/sup> 3d10<\/sup>).<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor this, copper ion(Cu+<\/sup>) has a total of eighteen valence electrons. Again, the copper atom donates an electron in the 4s orbital and an electron in the 3d orbital to convert copper ion(Cu2+<\/sup>).<\/p>\n\n\n\nCu \u2013 2e\u2013<\/sup> \u2192 Cu2+<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\nHere, the electron configuration of copper ion(Cu2+<\/sup>) is 1s2<\/sup> 2s2<\/sup> 2p6<\/sup> 3s2<\/sup> 3p6<\/sup> 3d9<\/sup>. This electron configuration shows that the copper ion has three shells and the last shell has seventeen electrons. In this case, the valence electrons of the copper ion(Cu2+) are seventeen.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to determine the valency of copper?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The ability of one atom of an element to join another atom during the formation of a molecule is called valency(valence). There are some rules for diagnosing valency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The number of electrons in an unpaired state in the last orbital after the electron configuration of an atom is called the valency of that element.<\/p>\n\n\n

Valency and valence electrons of copper<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe oxidation states of copper are +1 and +2. The oxidation state of copper +1 has been used in the copper(I) oxide(Cu2<\/sub>O). The valency of copper in this compound is 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the other hand, The oxidation state of copper +2 has been used in the Copper(II) oxide(CuO). The valency of copper in this compound is 2. The oxidation states of copper depend on the bond formation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
