Question

name the two oxo- acids of chlorine in which the oxidation states of chlorine are +1 and +3 .write their formulae and structure
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The oxoacids of chlorine are :

Hypochlorous acid, oxidation number of chlorine atom is +1

Hypo Chloric acid, oxidation number of chlorine atom is +3

Chloric acid ,oxidation number of chlorine atom is +5

Perchloric acid ,oxidation number of chlorine atom is +7

The halogen forms oxoacids due to presence of empty d-orbital (not in fluorine )due to which they show odd number of oxidation states which differ by number 2.

Hope it helps you!
