Which of the following is most thermally stable?

A

`HClO`

B

`HCIO_(2)`

C

`HCIO_(3)`

D

`HCIO_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4
Thermal stability increases with the increase in the number of oxygen atoms due to increase in the number of bonds.
`HCIO lt HCIO_(2) lt HCIO_(3) lt HCIO_(4)`
As a result oxidizing power increases in the reverse order:
`HClO gt HClO_(2) gt HClO_(3) gt HClO_(4)`
thus, `HClO` is the strongest oxidizing agent.
