Among the oxy-acids of chlorine , the strongest oxidizing agent is

A

`HClO_4`

B

`HClO_3`

C

`HClO_2`

D

HClO

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The stability of the oxy-acids of chlorine increases with the oxygen content owing to the increasing number of electrons involved in the formation of `sigma` and `pi` bonds. So, the oxidising strength, which depends on the ease of losing oxygen, decreases from HClO to `HClO_4`
