Oxidation number is the charge per atom in a compound.
Cl2= 2- (Cl= 1-)
Cu would have to be 2+ to balance the compound, because there is only one copper atom.

What is the chemical formula for copper 1 chloride?
There are two different copper chloride compounds, due to the two possible 'oxidation state numbers' (+1 and +2):CuCl cuprous chloride, Cu(I) chloride, mono-valent Copper chlorideCuCl2 cupric chloride, Cu(II) chloride, bi-valent Copper chloride
Why cucl is colorless?
In CuCl, copper is in +1 oxidation state, So that is a d10 system and the d-orbitals are completely filled. Hence colourless.
