Predict which of the following hydroxy compounds is acidic and which is basic in aqueous solution :
(i). `CsOH` , ii. `IOH`.
`EN` values are: `Cs = 0.7, O = 3.5, H = 2.1, I = 2.5`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the hydroxy compounds `CsOH` (cesium hydroxide) and `IOH` (iodine hydroxide) are acidic or basic in aqueous solution, we will analyze the electronegativity values of the elements involved and calculate the differences. ### Step 1: Identify the Electronegativity Values The given electronegativity values are: - Cesium (Cs) = 0.7 - Oxygen (O) = 3.5 - Hydrogen (H) = 2.1 - Iodine (I) = 2.5 ...
