what is the name of cuo? explain how you determined the bond type and the steps you used to determine the naming convention for the compound.

The name of the compound is Copper(II) oxide and it is also known as cupric oxide.

The name of the compound contains the name of both elements/atoms in the compound. Cu stands for copper while O stands for oxygen.

Any compound containing the oxygen is known as oxide. So copper containing the one oxygen will be copper(II) oxide. The (II) shows the oxidation state of copper. And any copper compound which has oxidation state of 2 can be known as cupric.

CuO is the ionic compound. And its valency shows the bond type.

First separate the atoms in the compound.

Then identify their valencies. The valency of Cu is 2 which valency of oxygen is 6.

If valency is 4, it means half of the shell is full and it is difficult for the atom to lose or gain electrons. In that case it will make covelent bond.

But if valency is higher or lower than 4, it is feasible to make ionic bond.

Hence CuO will make a ionic bond.
