Yes, acidity of the hydrides increases down group 17. This is largely because the bond strength of the hydride decreases as we go down the group, making it easier to break the bond and form ions.http://depts.washington.edu/eooptic/links/acidstrength.html

Which is the strongest acid among HFHClHBr and HI?

HI is the strongest acid among HF, HCl, HBr, and HI. This is because the strength of an acid increases as the size of the atom bonded to hydrogen increases down the halogen group. HI has the largest atom size and the weakest halogen bond, making it the strongest acid.


HBr is a stronger acid than HCl?

Actually, HCl is a stronger acid than HBr. This is because the strength of an acid is determined by its ability to dissociate and donate a hydrogen ion. HCl completely dissociates in water, while HBr partially dissociates, making HCl a stronger acid.


Why HI is more stronger acid than H2Te?

HI is a stronger acid than H2Te because the hydrogen iodide bond is stronger and more polarized than the hydrogen telluride bond due to the higher electronegativity of iodine compared to tellurium. This leads to easier dissociation of H+ in HI compared to H2Te, resulting in a stronger acid.


What is the acidic name for HF?

HF = Hydrofluoric Acid HCl =- Hydrochloric Acid HBr = Hydrobromic Acid HI = Hydroiodic Acid .


Would you consider hydroiodic acid to be a stronger or a weaker than hydrochloric acid?

Both are strong acids (this means stronger than H3O+) but HI is stronger than HCl.


What Acids contain fluoride and iodide anions?

Hydroiodic acid (HI) is an acid which contains the iodide anion. Likewise, hydrofluoric acid (HF) is an acid which contains the fluoride anion. HF is a weak acid, although HI (like HCl and HBr) is a strong acid.


What is the molecular formula for hydrofluoric acid?

The acids formed by the halogen elements are ;- HF ; Hydrofluoric acid HCl ; Hydrochloric acid HBr ; Hydrobromic acid HI ; Hydroiodic acid.


What is an acid with one hydrogen?

Examples are: HCl, HNO3, HF, HI.


Why is HI more stronger acid than HCl?

Iodine is larger in size so makes weaker bond with hydrogen and HI easily ionizes in water and is strong acid while HCl bond is relatively strong and not broken down easily in water as compare to HI.


Is HF acidic or basic?

Definitely ACIDIC . It is the corresponding acid to hydrochlorice acid. The halogen acids are HF = hydrofluoric acid HCl = Hydrochloric Acid HBr = hydrobromic acid HI = hydroiodic acid. .


Why are hydrogen bonds between HF molecules stronger than those between HBr and HI and HCl molecules?

Hydrogen bonds are stronger when the electronegativity difference between the hydrogen and the bonding atom is larger. In HF, fluorine is more electronegative than the other halogens, leading to stronger hydrogen bonds. In HBr, HI, and HCl, the lower electronegativity of the halogen atoms results in weaker hydrogen bonds.


Among halogen acids which one the strongest acidriiiiiiiteee?

In terms of acidity HI > HBr > HCl > HF
