Cuprous compounds such as CuCl, CuCN and CuSCN are the only salts stable in water due to:
- high hydration energy of Cu^+ ions
- their inherent tendency to not disproportionate
- diamagnetic nature
- insolubility in water
Correct answer: their inherent tendency to not disproportionate
Solution
Cuprous compounds such as CuCl, CuCN, and CuSCN are stable in water due to their inherent tendency to not disproportionate.
