oxidation numbers ClO³ explanation give plzz
Answers
Explanation:
Oxidation number in simple terms can be described as the number that is allocated to elements in a chemical combination. The oxidation number is basically the count of electrons that atoms in a molecule can share, lose or gain while forming chemical bonds with other atoms of a different element.
Oxidation number is also referred to as oxidation state. However, sometimes these terms can have a different meaning depending on whether we are considering the electronegativity of the atoms or not. The oxidation number term is used frequently in coordination chemistry.
Oxidation state of chlorine is +5 and oxidation state of oxygen is -2
Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine so it will be in negative oxidation state, as ions given is not the peroxide so the oxidation state of oxygen will be -2.
