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. (5 points)

Copper (II) oxide

CuO consists of a transition metal and a non-metal. First, I name the metal as it appears on the Periodic Table, which is simply “Copper”. Then, I write the name and charge of the non-metal, which in this case is, “Oxygen”. Since it is ionic, I replace the “ygen” at the end, with “ide”. Now, the name of CuO, so far, is Copper Oxide. Finally, I define its charge. Using prior knowledge, I know that oxygen has a -2 charge, and therefore, copper must have a charge of +2. To display that copper has a charge of +2, I put parentheses in between Copper & Oxide and wrote the Roman Numeral II in the parentheses. The final result is: Copper (II) Oxide. I hope this helps
