Copper(I) oxide molecules have a cubic structure, as shown in Figure 4. Copper ions and oxygen ions form ionic bonds and align with each other, giving the copper(I) oxide compound a cubic crystal structure. What is Copper(I) Oxide? Cuprous oxide, also known as cuprous oxide, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cu2O. It is covalent in nature. Copper(I) oxide crystallizes in a cubic structure. It is easily reduced by hydrogen when heated. It disproportionates in acidic solution to produce copper(II) ions and copper. When copper oxide is gently heated with metallic copper, it converts to cuprous oxide. Copper has good corrosion resistance because it reacts with oxygen in the air on the surface to form a thin protective oxide layer.
