Answer:
The ratio less than 2: 1 in Cu2O shows that some cuprous (Cu+) ions have been replaced by cupric (Cu2+) ions. In order to maintain the electrical neutrality, every two Cu2+ ion which results in creating cation vacancies leading to positive holes. Since the conduction is due to positive holes, it is a p-type semiconductor.
