Ag+I..........

Explanation:

The oxidation number is the charge left on the central atom when all the bonding pairs of electrons are REMOVED, with the charge assigned to the most electronegative atom.

Mo3(PO4),Mo+I;Mn2O3,MnIII+;CrO,Cr+II;CuSO4,Cu+II;TiBr3,Ti+III;YF4?.

YF4 is unknown; you mean YF3Y+III+3F.
