What is the oxidaion state of Hg in Hg2Cl2?

In Hg₂Cl₂ (Mercury(I) chloride), the oxidation state of each mercury (Hg) atom is +1. This is because the two mercury atoms share a +2 charge collectively, while each chlorine (Cl) atom has an oxidation state of -1. Therefore, the overall charge balance in the compound is maintained with Hg at +1.
