KCLO3 the oxidation number of potassuim is +1, oxidation number of chlorine is +5 the oxidation number of oxygen is -2 and there are 3 atoms of oxygen KClO3=1+5+(-2)3=0 therefore the oxidation number of KClO3 =0 or neutral
The chlorate ion is ClO3-. Some text books say that the oxidation number of the whole ion is equal to the charge, so in this cas it would be -1. However most teachers would sya that oxidation numbers only refer to atoms. So working out the oxidation numbers:- oxygen is -2, (using the rule, or if you use the he electronegativity method- gives the same answer as O is more electronegatoive than Cl) the sum of oxidation numbers of Cl and O are -1 (the charge on the ion) - I'll call the oxidation number of Cl OxCl -1 =OxCl + (3* -2)= OxCl -6 therefore OxCl = +5
Oxidation number of chlorine is +7. oxidation number of O is -2.
Oxidation number of N is +3. Oxidation number of Cl is -1.
S = +2 oxidation state cl = -1 oxidation state
Potassium chloride is that format (K for potassium, CL for chloride). Potassium chlorate, on the other hand, is different (KClO3)
KCLO3 the oxidation number of potassuim is +1, oxidation number of chlorine is +5 the oxidation number of oxygen is -2 and there are 3 atoms of oxygen KClO3=1+5+(-2)3=0 therefore the oxidation number of KClO3 =0 or neutral
There is no such thing as KCIO3. That should be a lowercase L, not an I. (all two-letter element symbols use a lowercase for the second letter) That being said, KClO3 is Potassium Chlorate. K = Potassium Cl = Chlorine O = Oxygen 3 = number of Oxygen atoms in the molecule

Theoretically yes - Hydrogen has an oxidation number in HCl of +1 (Cl has an ox no of -1 of course) and potassium has an oxidation state of +1. HCl + K ---------> KCl + H(+) (the potassium is oxidised and the hydrogen is reduced) Not just theoretically - It would react dangerously violently.
Oxygen in compounds is almost always in the -2 formal charge, and the charges of all atoms must add to the overall charge. 3 x -2 + (Cl) = -1, thus (Cl) = +5.
Oxidation number of N is +3. Oxidation number of Cl is -1.
S = +2 oxidation state cl = -1 oxidation state
The oxidation number of Na in NaCl is +1, while the oxidation number of Cl in NaCl is -1.
as oxidation number of K is 1 and the molecule is neutral 1+ Cl=0 Cl= -1 Therefore, the oxidation number of Cl is -1
KClO3 - KCl + O2
