Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, making up ~75% of all matter.
In which one of the following arrangements the given sequence is not strictly according to the properties indicated against it?
HF < HCl < HBr < HI : Increasing acidic strength
HOHSHSeHTe : Increasing values
NHPHAsHSbH : Increasing acidic character
COSiOSnOPbO : Increasing oxidizing power
To solve this problem, we need to analyze each option based on the given property.Option 1: HF < HCl < HBr < HI : Increasing acidic strength⢠The acidic strength of hydrogen halides increases down the group in the periodic table.⢠This is because the bond strength decreases from HF to HI, making it easier to donate a proton.⢠Therefore, this sequence is correct.Option 2: HOHSHSeHTe : Increasing values⢠is inversely related to acidic strength; lower means stronger acid.⢠The acidic strength of hydrides increases down the group, so should decrease.⢠Therefore, the sequence should be HOHSHSeHTe for increasing ⢠This sequence is incorrect as given.Option 3: NHPHAsHSbH : Increasing acidic character⢠The acidic character of group 15 hydrides increases down the group.⢠This is due to the decreasing bond strength and increasing size of the central atom.⢠Therefore, this sequence is correct.Option 4: COSiOSnOPbO : Increasing oxidizing power⢠The oxidizing power of oxides generally increases down the group.⢠This is because heavier elements can stabilize higher oxidation states more easily.⢠Therefore, this sequence is correct.Conclusion:The sequence in Option 2 is not strictly according to the properties indicated.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.
