In chlorate ion there is one single covalent bond between Cl and O- (Cl-O^-)
The other two oxygen atoms are linked to Cl in which Cl give its two electron for bonding to each O-atom so that oxygen can complete its octet.
while one non bonding(lone pair) is present on central Cl atom.
If u draw the structure then one single covalent, two double bond and one non bonding pair will appear.

The nitrogen atom has one lone pair (i.e. pair of unshared electrons). 1. Count up the total number of valence atoms contained in all atoms involved in the molecule. 5 for N + 1 for H (3 times) = 8 2. Draw the structure of the molecule, and distribute these valence electrons into the necessary bonds. 3 N-H bonds accounts fo 6 valence electrons. 2 are left over (from the 8), and so these are your unshared electrons that get assigned to the N. (These 2 electrons make 1 unshared - or lone - pair.)

ClO3- ion has one Cl-O single bond to the anionic oxygen, Cl-O(-).
It has two coordinate covalent bonds, in which Cl furnishes both electrons to be shared between Cl and those O's. And there is one nonbonding pair of electrons on Cl.
