The oxidation number of N and Cl in `NOClO_(4)` respectively areA. `+2 " and " +7`B. `+3 " and " +7`C. `-3 " and " +5`D. `+2 " and " -7`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`NOClO_(4)` is actually `NO^(+)ClO_(4)^(-)` is x.
`N overset(+)(O): x + (-2) = +1`
`x = +1 + 2 = +3`
Let the oxidation state of Cl in `ClO_(4)^(-)` is y.
`ClO_(4)^(-) : y + (-2) xx 4 = -1`
`y - 8 = 1, y = +7`
