Q34 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (20 Aug Shift 2) · Chemistry
The correct order of acidic character of the following is:
- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
The acidity is directly proportional to the tendency of the hydrogen donor. It depends upon the bond dissociation enthalpy of the bond where is . Down the group the bond dissociation energy of hydrides decreases and the acidic strength increases.
Hence, the correct order of acidic character of the given hydrides is .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
