Solution
The correct option is DH2O<H2S<H2Se<H2Te; increasing pKa values The following sequence is not strictly according to the property indicated against it. H2O<H2S<H2Se<H2Te; increasing pKa values.
Th correct sequence is: H2O>H2S>H2Se>H2Te; decreasing pKa values.
In Hydrides, as we move top to bottom, acidic nature increases so with the increase in the acidity from top to bottom, the Ka value increases and pKa value decreases.
