उत्तर १
HF < HCl < HBr < HI
The bond dissociation energy of the H-X molecules, where X=F, Cl, Br, and I, decreases with an increase in the atomic size. Since the H-I bond is the weakest, HI is the strongest acid.
उत्तर २
The acid strength of HF, HCl, HBr and HI depends upon their bond dissociation enthalpies. Since the bond dissociation enthalpy of the H-X bond decreases from H-F to H-I as the size of the atom increases from F to I.
Thus, the acid strength order is HF < HCl < HBr < HI
The weak acidic strength of HF is also due to H-bonding, due to which the release of H+ becomes difficult.
