Based on the position of the central atom in the periodic chart,we predict that the strongest acid of the following is: A)H₂O B)H₂S C)H₂Se D)H₂Te E)All acids are equal in strength.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The position of the central atom (Te) in the periodic chart shows that it is more electronegative and larger in size compared to other options. This leads to a weaker bond between the central atom and the hydrogen atom, resulting in a stronger acid. Therefore, H₂Te is expected to be the strongest acid among the given options.
