Write true or false for the following statements:
The formulae of cupric oxide and cuprous oxide are CuO and Cu2O respectively.
True
Formula for cupric oxide:
Valency of cupric = 2
Valency of oxide = 2
By applying criss-cross method:
Formula: CuO
Formula for cuprous oxide:
Valency of cuprous = 1
Valency of oxide = 2
By applying criss-cross method:
Formula: Cu2O
Hence, the given statement is correct.
