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

HI is a stronger acid than HF since iodine is less electornegative than fluorine. Thus, the H+ proton is less attracted to the iodide anion and more willing to be donated.

No, it is classified as a weak acid. HCl, HBr and HI are strong acids, but HF only partially ionises when dissolved in water.

The power is greater the Hi. Hbr is one of the best acids in the world.

HF forms hydrogen bonds, that are stronger than other Van der ... Therefore HCl is most polar whereas HI is the weakest among the given.

Which is the strongest acid among HFHClHBr and HI?

HI is more stronger acid while H2Te is almost neutral.


HBr is a stronger acid than HCl?

Yes but insignificant for practical use. Hydrogen iodide ( HI ) is even stronger! and HF is a significantly weaker acid than HCl.


Why HI is more stronger acid than H2Te?

HI and H2TE which is the stronger 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 an acid with one hydrogen?

Examples are: HCl, HNO3, HF, HI.


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

I think it's because HF forms hydrogen bonds, that are stronger than other Van der Waals's forces - other molecules form weaker molecular bonds.

Why does every acid contain oxygen?

Many acids don't contain oxygen: HF, HCl, HBr, HI, etc.


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.


What is the formula for the hydrofluoric acid?

The formula for hydrofluoric acid is HF.HF - one atom hydrogen bonded to one atom fluorine.Oh...never call it "hydrofluoric acid." Always call it HF. "Hydrofluoric" and "hydrochloric" sound an awful lot alike, but HF is far more dangerous - deadly, in fact.
