Chlorine in HCl is more electronegative than HClO3

Fantasy1: Why so ?
kvnmurty: can u give the reason - in terms of oxidation state or valency electron or bonds etc..
kvnmurty: or size
Angella: Lower the oxidation number, higher is the electronegativity. As, the oxidation no. of Cl in HCl (+1) is lower than that of Cl in HClO₃ (+5), Cl in HCl is more electronegative than the Cl in HClO₃.
nirmalsamannan: Thks ...
Angella: You're welcome ! :)
