The correct Answer is:
To determine the decreasing nucleophilic order of the compounds \(H_2O\), \(H_2S\), \(H_2Se\), and \(H_2Te\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Compounds The compounds given are: 1. \(H_2O\) (Water) 2. \(H_2S\) (Hydrogen sulfide) 3. \(H_2Se\) (Hydrogen selenide) 4. \(H_2Te\) (Hydrogen telluride) ### Step 2: Understand Nucleophilicity Nucleophiles are species that donate an electron pair to form a chemical bond. The strength of nucleophiles can be influenced by their basicity, especially when they belong to the same group in the periodic table. ### Step 3: Basicity Order For the compounds given, we first need to establish their basicity. Basicity generally decreases as we move down a group in the periodic table due to the increase in atomic size and the decrease in electron density. The basicity order for these compounds is: - \(H_2O > H_2S > H_2Se > H_2Te\) ### Step 4: Reverse the Basicity Order for Nucleophilicity Since the nucleophilic strength is the reverse of the basicity for compounds in the same group, we reverse the order we just established: - Nucleophilic order: \(H_2Te > H_2Se > H_2S > H_2O\) ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the decreasing nucleophilic order of the given compounds is: \[ H_2Te > H_2Se > H_2S > H_2O \] ### Final Answer The answer to the question is: - \(H_2Te > H_2Se > H_2S > H_2O\)
