    Chlorate Ion Charge: Understanding ClO₃⁻ and Oxidation States
    The charge of chlorate ion is -1.

    Here's why:

    * Chlorate ion has the chemical formula ClO₃⁻.

    * Chlorine (Cl) has a common oxidation state of +5 in chlorate.

    * Oxygen (O) has a common oxidation state of -2.

    * To balance the charges, the overall charge of the ion must be -1.
