In which one of the following arrangements the given sequence is not strictly according to the properties indicated against it?

  1. A
    : Increasing acidic character
  2. B
    : Increasing oxidizing power
  3. C
    : Increasing acidic strength
  4. D
    : Increasing values

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Acidic character of hydrides ( to ) increases due to decrease in bond strength. Correct.2. Oxidizing power of dioxides increases down Group 14 due to the inert pair effect ( to ). Correct.3. Acidic strength increases from to . Correct.4. Incorrect sequence: Down the group ( to ), the acidic strength increases. This means the increases, and thus () must decrease.Order for : .
