Chemical formula for Chlorate is ClO3 with valency -1.



* just remember if a compund with suffix -ate usually has more Oxygen atoms than a compound that has suffix -ite



Potassium Chlorite : KClO2

Potassium Chlorate : KClO3



Hope Help ^^

potassium perchlorate ------>KClO4 potassium chlorate----->KClO3 potassium perchlorate ------>KClO4 have more explosive reaction as it liberates more oxygen

Answer 6

Remember for all the compounds attached to oxygen. The ones that have ite have one less oxygen attached than the ate.



Adding to what the previous guy said. Nitrate is NO3 and nitrite is NO2
