If P, Q, R and S are elements of 3rd period of p-block in modern periodic table, among these one element is metal and rest are non-metals and their order of electronegativity is given as:
`P lt Q lt R lt S`
In which of the following linkage release of `H^+` is relatively more easier?

Options

A. P-O-H
B. S-O-H
C. Q-O-H
D. R-O-H

Answer

B

Explanation

In X-O-H, linkage as X is more electronegative the shared electron pair between O-H shifts more towards oxyge atom annd O-H bond weakens which facilitates release of `H^(+)`.
