How does increasing electronegativity of atom A in the same row of the periodic table affect acid strength?

Options

  1. AIt decreases acid strength.
  2. BIt has no effect on acid strength.
  3. CIt increases acid strength.
  4. DIt changes the color of the acid solution.

Correct answer

C. It increases acid strength.

Step-by-step solution

Increasing electronegativity of atom A in the same row of the periodic table increases the polarity of the H-A bond and, in turn, increases the acid strength.
