How are 2 and 3 correct?
Cl stays -1 all through right?
And N goes from +5 to 0 right?
So N is reduced....
In NH4ClO4, the oxidation state of chlorine is +7, so it is reduced to -1 in AlCl3.
N increases from -3 to 0.
Remember that in the ammonium ion, NH4+, the oxidation state of N is -3 and that of H is +1.
