Copper commonly forms two stable ions: Cu+ (copper(I), also known as cuprous ion) and Cu2+ (copper(II), also known as cupric ion). The charges indicate the oxidation state of the copper atom in each ion.

Copper(I) ion (Cu+): This ion has a +1 charge, meaning that copper has lost one electron.

Copper(II) ion (Cu2+): This ion has a +2 charge, indicating that copper has lost two electrons.

These two ions are the most common oxidation states for copper, and they play important roles in various chemical reactions and compounds involving copper.
