For $"cupric sulfate"$ ? Well, there is a $Cu(II)$ ion.

Explanation:

And for the $"sulfate counterion"$ , sulfur takes a $VI+$ oxidation state. And, as usual, the $O$ atoms takes a $-II$ oxidation state. Again, as normal, the weighted sum of the oxidation numbers for a neutral species is $"ZERO": 0=4xx(2-)+2+6$ .
