k3ZCl6
(+l×3) +Z+(-1×6) =0
+3+Z-6=0
Z= 6-3
z=+3

The oxidation number of chlorine is -1 because it only need one electron to become octet.

K has oxidation no of +1 and that of Cl is -1.This is bec. K has one unpaired electron in its outermost shell and is electropositive being a metal while Cl has one unpaired electron in its outermost shell and is electronegative being a non-metal.k3zcl6.3 times1+z+-1times6=0. 3-6 +z=0. -3+z=0.z=3.
