* Copper(I) chloride: CuCl (copper has a +1 charge)
* Copper(II) chloride: CuCl₂ (copper has a +2 charge)
So, without knowing the specific oxidation state of copper, you can't definitively say which formula is correct. To be accurate, you would need to specify the oxidation state of copper, like "copper(I) chloride" or "copper(II) chloride."
