Answer:

In HClO3 molecule chlorine is present in ground state.

Since the hybridization of chlorine in chloric acid i.e. HClO3 is sp³, therefore it is in ground state.

Chlorine has three binding partners i.e. oxygen and one pair of lone pair of electrons. The molecule has three identical Cl-O bonds, each intermediate between single and double.

Chlorine has a formal charge of +2 in HClO3.
