because Te is present at 5th period while S ispresent at 3rd period while going down the group the bond dissociation enthalpy decreased so therfore acidic character increases.
I hope it's helps u alot plZ marks as brilliant answer

In the case of H_{2} Te, removing a hydrogen ion from the molecule is simple, resulting in more acidity, but in the case of H_{2} S, bond dissociation is less, resulting in lesser acidity.

Acidic character in the periodic table

  • The ability or inclination to lose a proton is referred to as an acidic character.
  • We know that the atomic size of the elements diminishes as we travel from left to right in a period.
  • As a result of the smaller size, the electronegativity of an element, or its capacity to give electrons, rises.
  • As we all know, electronegativity is an element's ability to attract electron pairs.
  • As a result, because the electronegativity lowers down the group, the acidic character of the oxides "decreases down the group."
  • Similarly, more electropositive metals have more basic oxide in their natural state.
  • Because the bond strength reduces as the group progresses, the acidic strength increases.
