CaOCl₂ is commonly known as Bleaching powder .
It's Chemical name is "Calcium chloro hypochlorite"
Because it has chloride(Cl⁻) and hypochlorite(OCl⁻) ions both having -1 charge
Thus Ca must have +2 charge to account for the two '-1' charges
Hence, the oxidation number of Ca in CaOCl₂ is +2
Hope it helps!
