    • D

      HF

    Why

    Down a group, H–X bond gets weaker → easier to release H⁺.

  2. Sample 2difficulty 3/5

    Among HClO, HClO₂, HClO₃, HClO₄, the strongest acid is

    • A

      HClO₃

    • B

      HClO₄

      check_circle
    • C

      HClO

    • D

      HClO₂

    Why

    More terminal O atoms stabilize the conjugate base via electron delocalization → stronger acid.
