cl is strongest acid among hydrogen halides why
Answers
Answer:
Here is your...
answer mate ...the partially positive hydrogen on H-Cl is strong enough to break
the H-Cl bond, and the ions dissociate in solution.
halogen
will be the strongest acid
..as the size of iodine is biggest compared to all halogen..
it will be least electronegative and the bond breaking of halogen
bond will be easier.. will be the weakest acid as the polarising ability
of halogen
is the highest
and bond breaking requires a huge amount of energy
Chlorine is larger and has more electrons,
and therefore the H-Cl bond is longer and weaker. In the presence of water,
the electrostatic attractions between
water's partially negative oxygen
.and the partially positive hydrogen on H-Cl is strong enough to break the H-Cl bond, and the ions dissociate in solution.
i hope it helpfull to you
