(b) What is the oxidation number of chlorine in chloramine? 

(c) Is Cl oxidized, reduced, or neither, upon the conversion of bleach to chloramine? 

(d) Another toxic gas that can be produced is nitrogen trichloride, NCl₃. What is the oxidation number of N in nitrogen trichloride? 

(e) Is N oxidized, reduced, or neither, upon the conversion of ammonia to nitrogen trichloride?
