Frequently Asked Questions- FAQs
1. What is copper hydroxide used for?
Copper hydroxide used as fungicides. A mixture of copper hydroxide and copper sulfate is also used as
insecticides and pesticides. Malachite copper hydroxide is a bright green mineral used as a semiprecious stone ICSE Previous Year Question Papers
for making ornaments.
ICSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10
2. How is copper hydroxide formed? Physics

Copper(II) hydroxide is formed by adding a sodium hydroxide to a dilute solution of copper(II) ICSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10
sulfate(CuSO4·5H2O). Chemistry

ICSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10

3. Is copper hydroxide ionic or covalent? Maths
Copper hydroxide(Cu(OH)2) is an ionic compound. It undergoes dissociation to produce Cu2+ cation and OH-
anion. Cu is a metal and oxygen is non-metal so the bond between Cu and Oxygen is ionic in nature.

4. Is copper hydroxide a weak base?

Copper hydroxide is a hydrated copper oxide, and it does provide some concentration of OH- ions when it is in ISC Previous Year Question Papers
the presence of acids (H3O+). However, it is largely insoluble in water. Therefore, copper hydroxide would not be class 12
considered an alkali, but rather a weak base. ISC Previous Year Question Papers Class 12
Physics
5. Is copper hydroxide a fungicide?
ISC Previous Year Question Papers Class 12
Copper hydroxide used as a fungicide. The compound which is used to kill parasitic fungi or their spores is Chemistry
known as fungicide.
