Out of CuNPs and CuO which one is more acidic in nature and why?

02 February 2016 1 7K Report

I Would like to know -Out of Copper Nano particle Cu (O) and Copper oxide Cu (ll) which one is more acidic in nature and why so?

If possible any reference paper justifying your draft will be very help full.

Alain Celzard

The smaller is a cation and the higher is its positive charge, the more acidic it is because of the potential reaction : Mn+ + H2O --> M-OH(n-1)+ + H+. Cu2+ is therefore slightly acidic only. Metal copper is not expected to exhibit any acidic/basic properties.
