Six mole of Cl2 undergo a loss and gain of 10 mole of electrons to form two oxidation states of CI. Write down the two half reactions and find out the oxidation number of each CI atom involved.

The overall virtual reaction is:
2Cl2 --------->        Cl^10+           +     Cl^10-
6 moles              3                          3
 
Half reactions. =>
Cl2 -------------------->       Cl^10+      +    10e-
and
Cl2      +        10e-       ----------->           Cl^10-
Addinf both we get above final one.
Hence oxidation states in new half raeacn.s are => +3 and -3 respectively.
