Cupric compounds are more stable than their cuprous counterparts in solid state. This is because

  • the endothermic character of the 2nd IP of Cu is not so high

  • size of Cu2+ is less than Cu+

  • Cu2+ has stable electronic configuration as compared to Cu+

  • the lattice energy released for cupric compounds is much higher than Cu+


A.

the endothermic character of the 2nd IP of Cu is not so high

B.

size of Cu2+ is less than Cu+

D.

the lattice energy released for cupric compounds is much higher than Cu+

Electronic configuration of cuprous (Cu+) and cupric (Cu2+) ions are as follows-

Cu+ = [Ar] 3d104s0

Cu2+ = [Ar] 3d94s0

Electronic configuration of Cu+ is more stable as compared to Cu2+. It is because in Cu2+(small size) the nuclear charge is sufficient to hold 27 electrons whereas in Cu+ such condition is not possible.

Further, the IInd IP of Cu is not very high as compared to its Ist IP. Consequently a large amount of lattice energy is released for cupric compounds as compared to Cu+  compounds.
