Arrange the following in the decreasing order of their reducing character :
HF, HCl, HBr, HI
Advertisements
Solution
The bond length of the given molecules increases down the group. Therefore, the tendency to lose H+ increases down the group. Hence, the decreasing order of reducing character is HI>HBr>HCl>HF.
