\]
is an example of
- A Oxidation reaction
- B Reduction reaction
- C Disproportionation reaction
- D Decomposition reaction
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Reduction reaction
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For the reaction,

The oxidation number of the chlorine changes from \( +5 \) in reactant to \( +1 \) and \( -1 \) in the products, that is, the chlorate (V)
reduces to chloride ions and chlorate (I) ions.
