The stability of Cu2+Cu^{2+} is more than Cu+Cu^+ salts in aqueous solution due to

A

First ionisation enthalpy

B

Enthalpy of atomization

C

Hydration energy

D

Second ionisation enthalpy

Step-by-Step Solution

In aqueous solution, the higher hydration energy of Cu2+Cu^{2+} (due to its higher charge density) compensates for the energy required to remove the second electron from Cu+Cu^+, making Cu2+Cu^{2+} more stable.
