Hello! Good morning mate
Your answer is here
Explanation:
C2O4 is a polyatomic ions withstand charge -2 . The oxidation no of oxygen is -2 because oxygen always -2 charge on it .
Since there are four atoms of oxygen the overall charge of the oxygen is 4 (-2)= -8. The oxidation state of C is +3 and O is -2.
I hope it help you

C2O4 is the oxalate ion which has a total charge of -2
So, If we consider each Carbon to have a charge of x.
Each oxygen has a -2 charge,
So, 2x+4(-2) = -2
2x -8 =-2
2x =+6
x =+3
So the charge on each C is +3
