Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{ClO}_2^{-}>\mathrm{ClO}_3^{-}>\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

More be the oxidation state of central atom (i.e. \(\mathrm{Cl}\)-atom), more is the acidic nature of the species and lesser will be the basic strength. As, oxidation number of :…
