Cuprous compounds such as CuCI, CuCN and CuSCN are the only salts stable in water due to

Options

A. high hydration energy of `Cu^(+)` ions
B. their inherit tendency not to disproportionate
C. diamagnetic nature
D. insolubility in water.

Answer

A

Explanation

Cuprous compound contains `Cu^(+)` ion which has small size, so the hydration is maximum and hence,the system has slower energy which result in stability of the compounds.
