Identify the incorrect statement from the following:

Identify the incorrect statement from the following:

Options

  1. AThe acidic strength of HX(X=F,Cl,Br\mathrm{HX}(X=\mathrm{F}, \mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{Br} and I)) follows the order: HF>HCl>HBr>HI\mathrm{HF}\gt\mathrm{HCl}\gt\mathrm{HBr}\gt\mathrm{HI}.
  2. BFluorine exhibits -1 oxidation state whereas other halogens exhibit +1,+3,+5+1,+3,+5 and +7 oxidation states also.
  3. CThe enthalpy of dissociation of F2\mathrm{F}_2 is smaller than that of Cl2\mathrm{Cl}_2.
  4. DFluorine is stronger oxidising agent than chlorine.

Correct answer

A. The acidic strength of HX(X=F,Cl,Br\mathrm{HX}(X=\mathrm{F}, \mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{Br} and I)) follows the order: HF>HCl>HBr>HI\mathrm{HF}\gt\mathrm{HCl}\gt\mathrm{HBr}\gt\mathrm{HI}.

Step-by-step solution

The acidic strength of HX follows the order HF<HCl<HBr<HI\mathrm{HF} \lt \mathrm{HCl} \lt \mathrm{HBr} \lt \mathrm{HI} This is because bond enthalpy of hydrides of group 17 decreases down the group.
