hey----
---------dear---your--answer-----
In bleaching powder, Ca(OCl)Cl, the two Cl atoms are in different oxidation states i.e., one Cl– having oxidation number of –1 and the other as OCl– having oxidation number of +1.:-) :-) ----:-) ---
In this formula it is not so strait forward what the numbers are for each element.
It should actually written as Ca(OCl)Cl ( both Cl are connected in a different way).
It is known as ‘bleaching powder’ or calcium hypochlorite chloride ( correctly).
Calcium from group II has +2
so the rest should be -2
but O is normally -2 ( unless in conjunction with F )
then both Cl are what? zero ?
If you would know how it is made you’ll see the answer:
( not good English and clear writing in the next vid, but you’ll get it )::-) :-) ----
