Why cu does not show more than 2 oxidation state
  • 2 answers

Jassi Midha 3 years, 11 months ago

Because in s block of Cu present one electron and in p block 11 electrons are present. If it loses two electron it become stable. Because of stability it doesn't release it doesn't show oxidation State more than 2

 In an aqueous medium, Cu2+ is more stable than Cu+. This is because although energy is required to remove one electron from Cu+ to Cu2+, high hydration energy of Cu2+ compensates for it. Therefore, Cu+ ion in an aqueous solution is unstable.
