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]
