Out of `Cu_(2)Cl_(2)` and `CuCl_(2)`, which is more stable and why?

Explanation

To determine which compound, \( \text{Cu}_2\text{Cl}_2 \) or \( \text{CuCl}_2 \), is more stable, we need to analyze the oxidation states of copper in both compounds and the implications of these oxidation states on stability.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the oxidation states of copper in both compounds**:
- For \( \text{Cu}_2\text{Cl}_2 \):
- Let the oxidation state of copper be \( x \).
- The equation for the compound is:
