Silver chlorate (AgClO3) forms white, tetragonal crystals. Like all chlorates, it is water soluble. 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.
Silver(I) means silver is in its normal +1 oxidative state.
