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⁺
