Explain the decacading order ofacidic strength of following acids HCLO4>HCLO3>HCLO2 |
|
Answer» Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine. With an increase in the number of O atoms attached to Cl, more electrons are pulled away from O−H BOND and more weaker becomes the O−H bond. This increases the acid STRENGTH.The decreasing order of acidic strength is HCLO 4 >HClO 3 >HClO 2 >HClO. |
