Arrange `H_2S,H_2O,H_2Se` and `H_2Te` in increasing order of reducing strength.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To arrange the compounds \( H_2S, H_2O, H_2Se, \) and \( H_2Te \) in increasing order of reducing strength, we need to consider the bond dissociation energies of the bonds between hydrogen and the central atom (S, O, Se, Te). The reducing strength of a compound is determined by how easily it can release hydrogen ions (H+), which is influenced by the bond strength. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reducing Strength**: - Reducing strength is related to how easily a compound can donate electrons or release hydrogen ions. The easier it is to release H+, the stronger the reducing agent. 2. **Bond Dissociation Energy**: ...
