Q42 / 120 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · p Block Elements (Group 15, 16, 17 & 18)

The correct order of increasing hydration energy of the following conjugate bases of oxoacids of bromine is

  • Correct answer
    A
    BrO4-<BrO3-<BrO2-<BrO-
  • B
    BrO4-<BrO3-<BrO-<BrO2-
  • C
    BrO3-<BrO4-<BrO2-<BrO-
  • D
    BrO-<BrO2-<BrO3-<BrO4-

Solution

Hydration energy ∝ charge
Hydration energy ∝  1 size of ion

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
