Answer»

Solution : (a) Oxoacids of halogens. Fluorine forms only one oxoacid hypofluorous ACID, HFO. The outer halogens form several oxoacids though some of them can be isolated in the form of their salts. The important oxoacids of halogens are GIVEN in Table.

(b) Acidic strength
`(i) HClO_4 gt HClO_3 gt HClO_2 gt HClO(ii) HClO gt HBRO gt HIO`
