Question

How does the strength of oxoacids vary with the change in the oxidation state of halogens and down the group?

Answer 1

I hope you understand

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Oxoacids -
- Oxoacids are a group of chemical compounds in which both oxygen and halogen atoms are attached to another chemical element M in a single molecule.

● Strength of oxoacids -
- Acidic strength of oxoacids depend on two factor -
1) Electronegativity of central atom
2) Oxidation state of halogen
- With increase in electronegativity, acidic strength of oxoacids increases.
- With increase in oxidation number, acidic strength increases.


Hope this helps you...
