    Acidity of diprotic acids in aqueous solutions increases in the order                                         [AIPMT 2014]

    A)  \[{{H}_{2}}S<{{H}_{2}}Se<{{H}_{2}}Te\]

    B)       \[{{H}_{2}}Se<{{H}_{2}}S<{{H}_{2}}Te\]

    C)  \[{{H}_{2}}Te<{{H}_{2}}S<{{H}_{2}}Se\]

    D)       \[{{H}_{2}}Se<{{H}_{2}}Te<{{H}_{2}}S\]

    Correct Answer: A

    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
    \[{{H}_{2}}S<{{H}_{2}}Se<{{H}_{2}}Te\]
