What is the oxidation state of chlorine in the chlorate ion ClO3?

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.

What is the formula for the perchlorate ion?
It isn't actually the 'molecular' formula because it is not molecule you ask about, but here is the formula of the chlorate anion:ClO3- in which the oxidation state of Cl is +5 and of O it is -2 (as ever in oxy-compounds). (The acid of this base is HCLO3, name: hydrogen chlorate, or better known as chloric acid).
How many chlorine atoms are in the compound calcium chlorate?
Calcium chlorate has the formula Ca(ClO3)2. Therefore, there are two chlorine atoms in each formula unit.
What is the formula for Iron II Chlorate?
That would depend on whether it is iron II chlorate or iron III chlorate. Iron II chlorate is Fe(ClO3)2. Iron III chlorate is Fe(ClO3)3
What is the difference between the chlorine ion and the chlorate ion?
An atom is a neutral particle with the same number of protons as electrons. Ions are particles that have either more or less electrons. Ions can be positively charged (cations) or negatively charged. Ions will lose or gain electrons in order to have eight outer shell electrons. A chlorine atom has 17 electrons and 7 valence electrons (outer shell). It "wants" to have eight valence electrons, so it will gain one. Therefore, the typical chlorine atom will have one electron more.
What compound is Cu ClO3 2?
Cu(ClO3)2 is copper chlorate. NB Note the use of brackets around the chlorate anion.

What is the name of the CLO3?
The name for it is Chlorate ! (:
What can the ion Cl be best described as?
1. ClO3 is the chemical formula of chlorine trioxide (more correct is Cl2O6). 2. The anion (ClO3)- is the chlorate.
What is barium chlorate formula?
The barium chlorate formula is Ba(ClO3)2.
What is the oxidation number for CL in CLO3?
Oxidation number of chlorine is +7. oxidation number of O is -2.
