Acidic order of Halogens- hydrogen halides acidc strength

Acids are the substance which can donate Hydrogen ions in solution or the substance which accept electrons .

But now the question is how to know which acid is more acidic and which one is less .

For this you have to understand that Strong acid can easily donate H+ This state is valid for the molecules having Hydrogen atom in their molecules .

acidic order/ Strength of halogens ( Hydrogen halides )

Hydrogen halides are the molecules having hydrogen and halide group(Fluorine , Chlorine , Bromine and Iodine ) .Bond length between Hydrogen halides increases down the group due to increase in the size of halide atom .

Increasing order of bond length :

HI >HBr >HCl> HF

Due to increase in bond length , bond strength become weaker down the group .

Order of Bond strength :

HF >HCl >HBr> HI

It means that Hydrogen Iodide(HI) can easily donate proton ( due to weak bond ) into the solution and therefore it is most acidic hydrogen halide

whereas Flourine due to strong hydrogen bond between Hydrogen and flourine , its difficult to break this bond and therefore it is least acidic in nature .

Order of acidic strength :

HI >HBr >HCl> HF

So , In simple acidic strength of hydrides of p-block elements increases down the group .

Other example of Acidic strength order :

BiH3 >SbH3>AsH3>PH3>NH3

Types of reaction intermediates in organic chemistry

Intermediate is an unstable compound formed during a chemical reaction . This intermediate is very unstable and get converted into product as soon as it forms . Reaction intermediate forms in one step of a chemical reaction and get converted into product in the next step . There are basically four types of reaction intermediates in organic chemistry ◆Carbocation ◆carbanion ◆free radical ◆carbene Carbocation Carbocation is an intermediate in which carbon atom carries a positive charge . Carbocation is obtained during heterolytic fission. Heterolytic fission is defined as break down of covalent bond in such a way that more electronegative atom attract both the electrons . Carbocation is formed when more electronegative atom is directly attached to carbon atom during fission . Carbocations are sp2 hybridized having trigonal planar geometry Stability of carbocation depends on how easily electron density of carbocation can be increased . More the electron donati...

Why Solids are rigid and incompressible ?

Matter is anything that has a mass and occupy space . Ice , pen , pencil ,dog , etc are examples of matter because they have some mass and they occupy space . There are basically three states of matter , ●Solid ●Liquid ●Gas Solid Solid is defined as rigid and incompressible state of matter . Now the question is , why Solids are rigid and incompressible ? To answer this question , let's understand the properties of solids . 1.Solids have large intermolecular force of attraction . Intermolecular force is the force of attraction between to adjacent Molecules . Higher the intermolecular force , more tightly they will attract each other and less movement of Molecules will occur . 2.Intermolecular distance in Solid is very less . Intermolecular distance is the distance between two adjacent molecules . Less the distance more will the intermolecular force of attraction . Intermolecular force is inversely proportional to intermolecular distance . ...
