    Oxidation number of \[Cl\] in \[CaOC{{l}_{2}}\] (bleaching powder) is   AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2002

    A) zero, since it contains \[C{{l}_{2}}\]

    B) -1, since it contains \[C{{l}^{-}}\]

    C) +1, since it contains \[Cl{{O}^{-}}\]

    D) +1 and -1 since it contains \[Cl{{O}^{-}}\] and \[C{{l}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[CaOC{{l}_{2}}\] is written basically as \[Ca(OCl)Cl\] \[CC{{l}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Cl\] has \[+1\] oxidation state \[C{{l}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}Cl\] has \[-1\] oxidation state
