Answer:
Explanation:
The formula of the reaction:
KClO₂ → KCl + O₂
To assign oxidation numbers, we have to obey some rules:
- Elements in an uncombined state or one whose atoms combine with one another to form molecules have an oxidation number of zero.
- The charge on simple ions signifies their oxidation number.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation number of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero. For radicals with charges, their oxidation number is the charge.
The oxidation number of K in KClO₂:
K + (-1) + 2(-2) = 0
K-5 = 0
K = +5
The oxidation number of K in KCl:
K + (-1) = 0
K = +1
The oxidation number Cl in KClO₂ is -1
For Cl in KCl, the oxidation number is -1
For O in KClO₂, the oxidation number is (2 x -2) = -4
For O in O₂, the oxidation number is 0
K moves from an oxidation state of +5 to +1. This is a gain of electrons and K has undergone reduction. We then say K is reduced.
O moves from an oxidation state of -4 to 0. This is a loss of electrons and O has undergone oxidation. We say O is oxidized.

A is the answer
In an ozone molecule, the three atoms must be connected, so there must at least be a single bond between them. Place
dots in pairs around the oxygen atoms until each oxygen atom has eight valence electrons, starting with the atoms on the
outside and doing the central atom last if there are enough. Do not exceed the total number of valence electrons
identified in part A. Remember that the dashes between the oxygen atoms, which represent single bonds, each indicate
the presence of two valence electrons
