Question

h2o is more acidic than h2te why

Open in App
Solution

Actually the acidic strength increases in the order H2O<H2S<H2Se<H2Te.

Down the group basicity increases thus the stability or strength of conjugate base increases and the bond between H and element of group 16th listed above becomes more and more ionic and thus releases H+ easily.
