Which one of the following is most acidic?

  1. A \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Se}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{Te}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As the size of central atom, (order of size \(\mathrm{O}>\mathrm{S}>\mathrm{Se}>\mathrm{Te}\) ) increases, the \(\mathrm{H}-A\) (where \(A=\) central atom) bond length increases. Thus, the \(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{A}\) bond dissociation energy decreases. Consequently…
