- CThe enthalpy of dissociation of is smaller than that of .
- DFluorine is stronger oxidising agent than chlorine.
Correct answer
A. The acidic strength of and I follows the order: .
Step-by-step solution
The acidic strength of HX follows the order
This is because bond enthalpy of hydrides of group 17 decreases down the group.
