[[Chlorine]] and [[oxygen]] can [[chemical bond|bond]] in a number of ways:

*[[chlorine monoxide]] radical, {{chem2|ClO•}}, chlorine (II) oxide radical
*[[chloroperoxyl]] radical, {{chem2|ClO2•}}, chlorine (II) peroxide radical
*[[chlorine dioxide]], {{chem2|ClO2}}, chlorine (IV) oxide
*[[chlorine trioxide]] radical, {{chem2|ClO3•}}, chlorine (VI) oxide radical
*[[chlorine tetroxide]] radical, {{chem2|ClO4•}}, chlorine (VII) oxide radical
*[[dichlorine monoxide]], {{chem2|Cl2O}}, chlorine (I) oxide
*[[chlorine peroxide]], {{chem2|Cl2O2}}, dimer of chlorine monoxide radical or ClO dimer, chlorine (I) peroxide
**[[chloryl chloride]], {{chem2|ClO2Cl}}, chlorine (0,IV) oxide
**[[chlorine chlorite]], {{chem2|ClOClO}}, chlorine (I,III) oxide
*[[dichlorine trioxide]], {{chem2|Cl2O3}} as {{chem2|O\sCl\sClO2}}, chlorine (III,V) oxide
**dichlorine trioxide, {{chem2|Cl2O3}} as possible isomer {{chem2|Cl\sO\sClO2}}, chlorine (I,V) oxide
**dichlorine trioxide, {{chem2|Cl2O3}} as hypothetical isomer {{chem2|O\sCl\sO\sCl\sO}}, chlorine (III) oxide
*dichlorine tetroxide, also known as [[chlorine perchlorate]], {{chem2|Cl2O4}} or {{chem2|ClOClO3}}, chlorine (I,VII) oxide
*[[dichlorine pentoxide]], {{chem2|Cl2O5}} or {{chem2|ClOOClO3}}, is hypothetical
*[[dichlorine hexoxide]] or chloryl perchlorate, {{chem2|Cl2O6}} or {{chem2|[ClO2]+[ClO4]−}}, chlorine (V,VII) oxide
*[[dichlorine heptoxide]], {{chem2|Cl2O7}}, chlorine (VII) oxide
*dichlorine octoxide, chlorine (VII) oxide peroxide or dimer of chlorine tetroxide radical, {{chem2|Cl2O8}} or {{chem2|(OClO3)2}}

Several ions are also chlorine oxides:
*[[chloryl]], {{chem2|ClO2+}}
*[[perchloryl fluoride|perchloryl]], {{chem2|ClO3+}}
*[[hypochlorite]], {{chem2|ClO−}}
*[[chlorite]], {{chem2|ClO2−}}
*[[chlorate]], {{chem2|ClO3−}}
*[[perchlorate]], {{chem2|ClO4−}}
