Explanation:
the best way to understand the age of the earth is to estimate the age of matirials in it
The atoms didn't change we only added 2 different ones together. 2nd one is right
CIO4-=-1

O has a 2- oxidation change so
CI+4(-2)=-1
CI+(-8)=-1
CI=-1+8=7
So the oxidation number of chlorine is 7 in this case
