The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not incorrect regarding acidic strength, we need to analyze the statements provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Acidic Strength**: Acidic strength refers to the ability of a substance to donate protons (H⁺ ions) in a solution. The stronger the acid, the more readily it donates protons. 2. **Analyzing the First Statement (H₂S, H₂Se, H₂Te)**: - These compounds belong to Group 16 of the periodic table. - As we move down the group from sulfur (S) to selenium (Se) to tellurium (Te), the size of the atoms increases. - The overlap between the hydrogen's 1s orbital and the p orbitals of these elements becomes weaker as the size increases. - Weaker overlap means that the H⁺ ion can break away more easily, leading to increased acidity. - Therefore, the order of acidity is H₂Te > H₂Se > H₂S. This statement is correct. 3. **Analyzing the Second Statement (HClO₄, HClO₃, HClO)**: - These are oxyacids of chlorine. - The acidic strength of oxyacids generally increases with the number of oxygen atoms attached to the central atom (in this case, chlorine). - HClO₄ has the most oxygen, followed by HClO₃, and then HClO, which has the least. - Therefore, the order of acidity is HClO₄ > HClO₃ > HClO. This statement is also correct. 4. **Analyzing the Third Statement (P₄O₁₀ and SiO₂)**: - P₄O₁₀ (phosphorus pentoxide) has a higher percentage of oxygen compared to SiO₂ (silicon dioxide). - The logic follows that a higher percentage of oxygen typically correlates with stronger acidity. - Since P₄O₁₀ has more oxygen per phosphorus atom than SiO₂ has per silicon atom, it is more acidic. - Thus, the order of acidity is P₄O₁₀ > SiO₂. This statement is also correct. 5. **Conclusion**: - All three statements regarding acidic strength are correct. - Therefore, the answer to the question "Which is not incorrect for acidic strength?" is that all provided statements are correct. ### Final Answer: All options (A, B, and C) are correct regarding acidic strength.
