Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To predict the relative acidic strength among the hydrides of group 16 elements: `H2O`, `H2S`, `H2Se`, and `H2Te`, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Group and Elements The given compounds are hydrides of group 16 elements: Oxygen (O), Sulfur (S), Selenium (Se), and Tellurium (Te). ### Step 2: Understand Acidic Strength Acidic strength is determined by the ability of a compound to donate protons (H⁺ ions). The weaker the bond between H and the central atom, the easier it is for the compound to release H⁺ ions, thus making it a stronger acid. ...
