The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect statement regarding the oxyacids \( HClO_n \) (where \( n \) ranges from 1 to 4), we will analyze each statement based on the properties of these oxyacids. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Oxyacids**: The oxyacids in the series are: - \( HClO \) (Hypochlorous acid) - \( HClO_2 \) (Chlorous acid) - \( HClO_3 \) (Chloric acid) - \( HClO_4 \) (Perchloric acid) 2. **Analyze Acidic Character**: - The acidic character of oxyacids generally increases with the number of oxygen atoms attached to the central atom (chlorine in this case). - The order of acidity is: - \( HClO_4 > HClO_3 > HClO_2 > HClO \) - **Conclusion**: The statement that "the acidic character of oxyacid increases with increasing value of \( n \)" is **correct**. 3. **Analyze Oxidizing Power**: - The oxidizing power of these oxyacids generally decreases with increasing \( n \) because the higher the oxidation state of chlorine, the lower its ability to act as an oxidizing agent. - The order of oxidizing power is: - \( HClO > HClO_2 > HClO_3 > HClO_4 \) - **Conclusion**: The statement that "the oxidizing power of oxyacids increases with decreasing value of \( n \)" is **correct**. 4. **Analyze Thermal Stability**: - The thermal stability of these oxyacids increases with increasing \( n \). - The order of thermal stability is: - \( HClO_4 > HClO_3 > HClO_2 > HClO \) - **Conclusion**: The statement that "the thermal stability of oxyacids decreases with increasing value of \( n \)" is **incorrect**. 5. **Analyze Bond Order**: - The bond order of the Cl-O bond decreases as \( n \) decreases. - The order of bond order is: - \( HClO_4 > HClO_3 > HClO_2 > HClO \) - **Conclusion**: The statement that "the chlorine-oxygen bond order decreases with decreasing value of \( n \)" is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion: The incorrect statement regarding these oxyacids is: - **"The thermal stability of oxyacids decreases with increasing the value of \( n \)"** (Option 3).

To determine the incorrect statement regarding the oxyacids \( HClO_n \) (where \( n \) ranges from 1 to 4), we will analyze each statement based on the properties of these oxyacids. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Oxyacids**: The oxyacids in the series are: - \( HClO \) (Hypochlorous acid) - \( HClO_2 \) (Chlorous acid) - \( HClO_3 \) (Chloric acid) ...
