Answer:

2

Explain:

we get,

K=+1

O=-1

so,Cl=?

we know,

Total oxidation number of KClO3=0

so,

KClO3=0

or,+1×1+x+(-1)×3=0

or,+1+x-3=0

or,x-2=0

or,x=+2

so,The oxidation number of Chlorine=+2

K-(+1) , O -(-2) , think oxidation number of Cl is “x”

As this is not charged the entire charge is “0”.

(+1) +(-2×3)) +(x) =0

-5 +x=0

x=[+5]
