The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct order of the given properties, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Oxidizing Nature of Acids (HClO, HClO2, HClO3, HClO4) 1. **Identify the central atom**: In these acids, the central atom is chlorine (Cl). 2. **Calculate the oxidation state of chlorine in each acid**: - For HClO: \[ +1 + x - 2 = 0 \implies x = +1 \] - For HClO2: \[ +1 + x - 4 = 0 \implies x = +3 \] - For HClO3: \[ +1 + x - 6 = 0 \implies x = +5 \] - For HClO4: \[ +1 + x - 8 = 0 \implies x = +7 \] 3. **Determine the oxidizing power**: The higher the oxidation state, the stronger the oxidizing agent. Thus, the order of oxidizing power is: \[ \text{HClO4} > \text{HClO3} > \text{HClO2} > \text{HClO} \] ### Step 2: Analyze Electron Affinity 1. **Understand electron affinity**: It is the energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom. 2. **Order of electron affinity**: As we move down the group in the periodic table, electron affinity generally decreases due to increasing atomic size and shielding effect. - Correct order: \[ \text{F} > \text{Cl} > \text{Br} > \text{I} \] ### Step 3: Analyze Bond Dissociation Energy 1. **Understand bond dissociation energy**: It is the energy required to break a bond in a molecule. 2. **Order of bond dissociation energy**: Generally, as we move down the group, bond dissociation energy decreases due to increasing atomic size. However, fluorine is an exception due to its small size causing significant electron-electron repulsion. - Correct order: \[ \text{F} < \text{Cl} < \text{Br} < \text{I} \] ### Step 4: Analyze Acidic Strength of Hydrogen Halides (HF, HCl, HBr, HI) 1. **Understand acidic strength**: The strength of an acid increases as the bond between hydrogen and the halogen weakens. 2. **Order of acidic strength**: As we move down the group, the bond strength decreases, making it easier to release H+ ions. - Correct order: \[ \text{HF} < \text{HCl} < \text{HBr} < \text{HI} \] ### Conclusion From the analysis, the correct orders for each property are: - **Oxidizing nature**: HClO4 > HClO3 > HClO2 > HClO - **Electron affinity**: F > Cl > Br > I - **Bond dissociation energy**: F < Cl < Br < I - **Acidic strength**: HF < HCl < HBr < HI Thus, the only correct option is the one related to the acidic strength of hydrogen halides. ---
