Question

Choose the correct option.

Oxidation numbers of Cl atoms marked as Cl^a and Cl^b in CaOCl₂ (bleaching powder) are

\[\begin{array}{cc} \ce{Cl^{{a}}}\phantom{.} \\/\phantom{...} \\ \ce{Ca}\phantom{......} \\ \backslash\phantom{..} \\\phantom{........} \ce{O-Cl^{{b}}}\phantom{.} \end{array}\]

पर्याय
