The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect statement regarding the oxyacids of chlorine (HClO_n) where n ranges from 1 to 4, we need to analyze the properties of these acids systematically. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Oxyacids**: The series of oxyacids for chlorine are: - HClO (n=1) - HClO2 (n=2) - HClO3 (n=3) - HClO4 (n=4) 2. **Acidic Strength**: The acidic strength of these oxyacids increases with increasing oxidation state of chlorine. The oxidation states are: - HClO: +1 - HClO2: +3 - HClO3: +5 - HClO4: +7 Thus, the order of acidic strength is: - HClO < HClO2 < HClO3 < HClO4 This statement is **true**. 3. **Oxidizing Power**: The oxidizing power of these oxyacids decreases with increasing n. Therefore, the order of oxidizing power is: - HClO > HClO2 > HClO3 > HClO4 This is because the stability of the acids increases with n, leading to lower oxidizing power. This statement is **true**. 4. **Thermal Stability**: The thermal stability of these oxyacids generally increases with increasing n. Thus, the statement that thermal stability decreases with increasing n is **false**. Therefore, this is the incorrect statement. 5. **Bond Order**: The bond order of Cl-O bonds in these acids increases with increasing n. As n increases, the bond order changes from a single bond in HClO to a double bond in HClO3 and HClO4. Thus, the statement that Cl-O bond order decreases with decrease in n is **true**. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement regarding the oxyacids HClO_n is that "the thermal stability of oxy-acids decreases with increases in n."

To determine the incorrect statement regarding the oxyacids of chlorine (HClO_n) where n ranges from 1 to 4, we need to analyze the properties of these acids systematically. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Oxyacids**: The series of oxyacids for chlorine are: - HClO (n=1) - HClO2 (n=2) ...
