The reactions shown represent the oxidation states of copper from elemental copper (Cu) to copper oxide (CuO), copper sulfate (CuSO4), copper nitrate (Cu(NO3)2), copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)2), and back to copper oxide (CuO) and finally to elemental copper (Cu). This series of reactions demonstrates the versatility of copper in forming different compounds with varying oxidation states.
