Answer:
No, Chlorine not always shows positive oxidation state.
Explanation:

- But only in compounds with oxygen and fluorine chlorine can exhibit positive oxidation states.
- As, oxygen and fluorine are more electronegative than chlorine. Thus only oxygen and fluorine compounds can oxidise chlorine.
