Both the statements are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.
Explanation:
- The perchloric acid is the highest oxidation state of chlorine.
- Here the oxidation number of chlorine is +7.
- Chloric acid is the previous oxidation state of chlorine.
- Here the oxidation state of chlorine is +5.
- As oxygen is very electronegative, it draws more electrons from the chlorine.
- This basically tends to pull the electron from oxygen hydrogen bond too, making the perchloric anion.
- So the perchloric acid is more acidic than chloric acid
