Solution

The correct options are
B

H2Te>H2Se>H2S>H2O: Reducing nature


C

H2O>H2Te>H2Se>H2S: Boiling point


Ionization energy: F > N > O

For grup 16 hydrides, the reducing nature increases as we go down the group. Due to hydrogen bonding, the boiling point of watre is the highest of the group 16 hydrides. The remaining 3 show an increasing trend from sulphur and downwards.

Hence the following two trends are accurate:

H2Te>H2Se>H2S>H2O: Reducing nature

H2O>H2Te>H2Se>H2S: Boiling point

Among the oxyacids of chlorine (given), the oxidizing capacity is just the reverse:

HClO4<HClO3<HClO2<HClO: Oxidizing nature
