Q. Statement I : Acid strength increases in the order given as
$HF < < HCl < < HBr < < HI$.
Statement II : As the size of the elements $F, Cl, Br, I$ increases down the group, the bond strength of $HF, HCl, HBr$ and $HI$ decreases and so the acid strength increases.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Solution:

Down the group acidic strength increases as bond length increases and bond strength decreases due to which ease of release of $ H ^+$ increases. Acidic strength increases
