Solution:
Acidic strength of hydrides increases as the size
of central atom increases which weakens the
M- H bond. Since, the size increases from S to Te
thus acidic strength follows the order. H2S<H2Se<H2Te
Acidic nature ∝Bonddisspciationenthalpy1
S to Te size increases, bond dissociation enthalpy
decreases and acidic nature increases.
