Account for the following :
Acidic character increases from HF to HI.

उत्तर
The acidic strength of the hydrohalic acids increases from HF to HI because the stability of the acids decreases from HF to HI on account of decrease in bond dissociation enthalpy of H−X bond from HF to HI.

Account for the following: Fluorine does not exhibit positive oxidation state.
Fluorine is a stronger oxidising agent than chlorine. Why?
Compare the oxidizing action of F2 and Cl2 by considering parameters such as bond dissociation enthalpy, electron gain enthalpy and hydration enthalpy.
Give two examples to show the anomalous behaviour of fluorine.

Which is the strongest acid in the following:
Give reason to explain why ClF3 exists but FCl3 does not exist.
Statement I: Acid strength increases in the order given as HF << HCl << HBr << HI.
Statement II: As the size of the elements F, Cl, Br, and I increase down the group, the bond strength of HF, HCl, HBr and HI decreases and so the acid strength increases.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
