Oxidation numbers of two Cl atoms in bel...

Oxidation numbers of two `Cl` atoms in belaching powder, `CaOCl_(2)`, are

A

Zero

B

`+1`

C

`-1`

D

`+1,-1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`CaOCl_(2)` is actually `Ca^(2+)overset(+1)((OCl)^(-))overset(-1)(Cl^(-))`
`:.` O.N of two Cl atoms are +1 and -1
