Answer:
+2
explanation :
An example of a +2 oxidation state is CuO, where oxygen has an oxidation number of -2 and therefore copper has the oxidation number of +2 to balance out the molecule. An example of a +1 oxidation state is Cu2O, where, once again, oxygen's oxidation state is -2 and so to balance out the molecule, each copper atom is +1.
