b. Cl + O3  ClO______ (chlorine monoxide) + O2
6. Consider the covalent compound dinitrogen trioxide when answering the
following:
N2O3_______________ a. What is the formula for dinitrogen trioxide?
+3__________________ b. What is the oxidation number assigned to each
nitrogen atom in this compound? Explain your
answer.

Oxygen has an oxidation number of -2, so O3 has a number of -6. This means
N2 must have a number of +6, so each N has a number of +3._______________
