Of the hydrogen halides, the strongest bond is found in ________ and the longest bond is found in ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strongest bond is found in HF due to the small size of fluorine, which allows for a strong overlap between the hydrogen 1s orbital and the fluorine 2p orbital. The longest bond is found in HI because iodine is the largest of the halogens, resulting in a longer bond length with hydrogen.
