Yes. If this is the balanced equation:

AlCl3 + 3Na —— 3NaCl + Al

then Al was reduced from a 3+ oxidation (to neutralize the 3- from the chlorine) to a 0 oxidation (elemental ground state).

Answer : There is no change takes place in the oxidation number of Cl.

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is,

AlCl_3+Na\rightarrow NaCl+Al

This reaction is an unbalanced reaction because the chlorine atoms are not balanced.

In order to balance the chemical reaction, the coefficient 3 is put before the Na and NaCl.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

AlCl_3+3Na\rightarrow 3NaCl+Al

Now we have to calculate the oxidation number of all the elements.

In AlCl_3, the oxidation number of Al and Cl are, (+3) and (-1) respectively.

The oxidation number Na and Al are, zero (0)

In NaCl, the oxidation number of Na and Cl are, (+1) and (-1) respectively.

From this we conclude that the oxidation number of Cl changes from (-1) to (-1) that means remains same.

Therefore, there is no change takes place in the oxidation number of Cl.

The radioactivity of U-235 is of low intensity. Why then were the people of Hiroshima exposed to high intensity radiation in the
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

What occurred then is as a result of nuclear fission. This occurs as the Uranium-235 split into two smaller nuclei while releasing high energy neutrons. These neutrons bombard existing U-235 in the atmosphere and this reaction continue in a spontaneous manner until a chain reaction is formed of U-235, whose fall out fills the environment. This process was what led to people been exposed to high intensity radiation in the days and months after the atomic bomb was dropped.
