The oxidation state of chlorine in cl2 is

Sagot :

Answer:

First the Lewis formula is recorded.

Then the electrons are assigned to the atoms according to electronegativity

The oxidation number can then be calculated based on the valence electrons. Example: Oxygen normally has 6 valence electrons (VI. Main group).

Explanation:

"The oxidation state of chlorine in cl2 is"
