H2S is less acidic than H2Te, why?

Answer»
  • Sulphur is more electronegative than Tellurium. 
  • Bond energy of S-H in H2S is (347 kJ mol-1) more than the bond energy of Te-H (238 kJ mol-1). 
  • Hence H2Te dissociates more giving H+ (or H3O+) than H2S in the solution. Therefore H2S is less acidic than H2Te.
