Hi, I have some doubts about hydrides and acidity
Hydracids and acidity: HI>HBr>HCl>HF
2nd row and acidity: HF>H2O>NH3>CH4
What I think:
Hydracids
1) Bond strenght: H-F > H-Cl > H-Br > H-I
2) Electronegativity difference: heavier halogen -> less electronegative -> less polarized bond -> weaker bond -> easier dissociation
3) Coniugate base stability: (electron affinity) Cl- > F- > Br- > I-
More or less order of acidity explained
2nd row
1) Bond strenght: H-F > O-H > C-H > N-H
2) Electronegativity difference: H-F > O-H > N-H > C-H
3) Coniugate base stability: F- > OH- > NH2- > CH3-
This considerations don't explain the order
Where am I wrong?
Thanks
