-Of the elements indicated on the periodic table shown above,which forms the weakest oxoacid acid with the formula H₂XO₃ or HXO₃,where X = A,B,C,or D? A)A B)B C)C

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strength of an oxoacid, where the formula is generally represented as HXO3, is influenced by the electronegativity and oxidation state of the central atom (X). The more electronegative and the higher the oxidation state of X, the stronger the acid. Without the specific elements provided, we can infer that option C refers to an element with lower electronegativity and/or a lower oxidation state compared to the others, resulting in the weakest oxoacid.
