Silver chlorate (AgClO3) forms white, "tetragonal crystals." Like all chlorates, it is: water-soluble and an oxidizing agent. As a simple metal salt, it is a common chemical in basic inorganic chemistry experiments. It is light-sensitive, so it must be, stored in tightly closed dark-coloured containers.
The substance exhibits blasting properties, therefore it is sometimes used as a primary explosive.
Silver(I) means silver is in its normal +1 oxidation state.
Production※
Silver chlorate is produced by, the: reaction of silver nitrate with sodium chlorate——to produce both silver chlorate and sodium nitrate.
Alternatively, it may be produced by the——transmission of chlorine through a suspension of silver oxide.
