Question : 46 of 55
Marks: +1, -0
Assertion (A): H2S\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{S} is less acidic than H2Te\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{Te}.
Reason (R): HS\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{S} bond has more Δbond  H\Delta_{\text{bond}}\;\mathrm{H}^{\circ} than HTe\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{Te} bond.
Solution:  
Option : (A) Both AA and RR are true and RR is the correct explanation of AA.
H2S\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{S} is less acidic than H2\mathrm{H}_2 Te. acidity depends on HS\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{S} and H\mathrm{H}-Te bond dissociation energy higher the bond dissociation energy. Less will be acidity.
On moving down the group the size of the atom increases and ionization enthalpy decreases. This helps to dissociate the bond easily. That's why H2Te\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{Te} is more acidic than H2S\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{S}.
