In which of the following arrangements the given sequence is NOT strictly according to the property indicated against it?

  1. A
    : increasing oxidising power
  2. B
    : increasing acidic strength
  3. C
    : increasing values
  4. D
    : increasing acidic character

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In the hydrides of Group 16 ( to ), the acidic strength increases down the group because the bond dissociation enthalpy decreases.As acidic strength increases, the value increases and the value decreases ().Therefore, the correct order for increasing is:

The given sequence represents increasing acidic strength, but decreasing values.
