How does the electronegativity difference between the atoms H and A affect the strength of the H-A bond?

Options

  1. AIt has no effect on the bond strength.
  2. BIt strengthens the bond.
  3. CIt weakens the bond.
  4. DIt changes the color of the bond.

Correct answer

C. It weakens the bond.

Step-by-step solution

An increased electronegativity difference between the atoms H and A weakens the H-A bond, making it easier to cleave and, therefore, increases the acidity of the acid.
