Which one is most stable to heat ?A. HClOB. `HClO_(2)`C. `HClO_(3)`D. `HClO_(4)` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D As the oxidation state of the halogen atom increases, the halogen-oxygen bond becomes more and more covalent. As a result, the thermal stability of the oxo acid increases. Thus, `HCIO_(4)`, is most stable to heat, whereas HCIO is least stable to heat. |
