Answer 2

Answer:

please mark me as the brainliest

Explanation:

Oxidation number of O is -2

Oxidation number of Cl is -1 but for Cl2 is -2

Oxidation number of CaOCl2 is 0

let oxidation number of Ca be as X

X + (-2) + (-2) = 0

x - 4 = 0

x = +4

oxidation number of Ca is +4

don't worry, oxidation number and oxidation state are same only
