Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The oxidation number of chlorine in Cl2O is to be determined.

Explanation of Solution

The given compound is Cl2O . Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine. Thus, the oxidation number of oxygen is 2 . The net charge on Cl2O is zero. Using the net charge and chemical formula, the oxidation number of chlorine is determined as follows:

Net charge Cl2O=Total positive oxidation number2×Cl+Total negative oxidation number1×O0=Total positive oxidation number2×Cl+1×2Total positive oxidation numberCl=+1

The oxidation number of each chlorine Cl in Cl2O is +1 .

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The oxidation number of chlorine in ClO3 is to be determined.

Explanation of Solution

The given compound is ClO3 . Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine. Thus, the oxidation number of oxygen is 2 . The net charge on ClO3 is zero. Using the net charge and chemical formula, the oxidation number of chlorine is determined as follows:

Net charge ClO3=Total positive oxidation number1×Cl+Total negative oxidation number3×O0=Total positive oxidation numberCl+3×2Total positive oxidation numberCl=+6

The oxidation number of chlorine Cl in ClO3 is +6 .

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The oxidation number of chlorine in Cl2O3 is to be determined.

Explanation of Solution

The given compound is Cl2O3 . Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine. Thus, the oxidation number of oxygen is 2 . The net charge on Cl2O3 is zero. Using the net charge and chemical formula, the oxidation number of chlorine is determined as follows:

Net charge Cl2O3=Total positive oxidation number2×Cl+Total negative oxidation number3×O0=Total positive oxidation number2×Cl+3×2Total positive oxidation numberCl=+3

The oxidation number of each chlorine Cl in Cl2O3 is +3 .

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The oxidation number of chlorine in ClO2 is to be determined.

Explanation of Solution

The given compound is ClO2 . Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine. Thus, the oxidation number of oxygen is 2 . The net charge on ClO2 is zero. Using the net charge and chemical formula, the oxidation number of chlorine is determined as follows:

Net charge ClO2=Total positive oxidation number1×Cl+Total negative oxidation number2×O0=Total positive oxidation number1×Cl+2×2Total positive oxidation numberCl=+4

The oxidation number of chlorine Cl in ClO2 is +4 .

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The oxidation number of chlorine in Cl2O5 is to be determined.

Explanation of Solution

The given compound is Cl2O5 . Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine. Thus, the oxidation number of oxygen is 2 . The net charge on Cl2O5 is zero. Using the net charge and chemical formula, the oxidation number of chlorine is determined as follows:

Net charge Cl2O5=Total positive oxidation number2×Cl+Total negative oxidation number5×O0=Total positive oxidation number2×Cl+5×2Total positive oxidation numberCl=+5

The oxidation number of each chlorine Cl in Cl2O5 is +5 .
