Copper with configuration [Ar]3d¹⁰ electron 4s¹ exhibits +1 oxidation state. Copper loses 4s¹ electron easily and achieved a stable configuration 3d¹⁰by forming Cu⁺.

In the first transition series, Cu exhibits +1 oxidation state very frequently. It is because Cu ( +1) has an electronic configuration of [Ar] 3d¹⁰. The completely filled d-orbital makes it highly stable.
