chlorate
Chlorate is an inorganic compound that typically appears as a salt and consists of one chlorine atom bonded to three oxygen atoms (ClO3), carrying a -1 charge. It is a powerful oxidizer that is often used in pyrotechnics and agriculture, primarily as a non-selective herbicide. It is highly reactive, often used in laboratories for experiments, and can be hazardous when not used properly.

Chlorate
The chlorate anion has the formula ClO3−. In this case, the chlorine atom is in the +5 oxidation state. "Chlorate" can also refer to chemical compounds containing this anion; chlorates are the salts of chloric acid. "Chlorate", when followed by a roman numeral in parentheses, e.g. chlorate, refers to a particular oxyanion of chlorine. As predicted by VSEPR, chlorate anions have trigonal pyramidal structures. Chlorates are powerful oxidizers and should be kept away from organics or easily oxidized materials. Mixtures of chlorate salts with virtually any combustible material will readily deflagrate. Chlorates were once widely used in pyrotechnics for this reason, though their use has fallen due to their instability. Most pyrotechnic applications which formerly used chlorates in the past now use the more stable perchlorates instead.
