) bond How is the strength of a binary acid affected by (a) electronegativity of the non-hydrogen element, (b strength, and (c) bond polarity? Use examples to illustrate your answers. 2. tom end (h) the numher of
Solution
A) more is the electronegativity of non hydrogen element more is stability of conjugate base as negative charge on electronegativity atom more stability. Hence stronger acid.
B) more is bond strength less is acidic strength as its difficult to break the bond and release hydrogen.
C) more is electronegativity difference more is acidity because easily the bond can be cleaved.
