Q. Bond strength of Hydrogen halides decreases in the order:

Q. Statement I: Acidic strength increases in the order given as

H F << H C l << H B r << H I

Statement II: As the size of the elements

F, C l, B r, I

increases down the group, the bond strength of

H F, H C l, H B r, and H I

decreases and so the acidic strength increases.
