    When the unbalanced equation of the formation of CuO is:

    Cu + O2 → CuO

    now the number of O atoms are not equal on both sides of the equation.

    as O atoms on the left side 2 atoms and on the right side 1 atom.

    so we will put 2 CuO instead of CuO

    now the number of O atoms on both sides are equal 2

    but now the number of Cu atoms are not equal on both sides so, we put 2 Cu instead of Cu.

    ∴ the final balanced equation of CuO formation is:

    2Cu + O2 → 2CuO
