Explain why the acidity of halogens acids decrease in the order HI>HBr>HCl although their ionic characters increase in the reverse order.
Explain why the acidity of halogens acids decrease in the order HI>HBr>HCl although their ionic characters increase in the reverse order.
- The strengths of these acids decrease in the order HI > HBr > HCl: due to the decrease in the H-X bond energy in the order HCl > HBr > HI.
- the ionic character increase in order HI < HBr < HCl because the electronegativity of the halogen atom increase in order I< Br < Cl.
