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

Most acidic Substance in the world-Most acidic compound

Which is the most acidic compound or Substance ? This question is difficult to answer because for this we have to find the acidic strength of all the compounds which are found or exist in nature..But don't worry , we have answer for this question.. First understand which compound is called as  acid Acid are those compound which can easily donate their H+ ion , easily accept an electron pair and show high resonance stabilization .  All this points have to consider while determine the acidic strength of a compound. After considering all this factors , it has been found that the most acidic compound is  Fluoroantimonic Acid . It's also considered as a Super Acid .  Super Acids are acids with acidic strength or acidity greater than 100% pure sulphuric acid Fluoroantimonic Acid is an inorganic  compound having Chemical formula H2SbF7.It is  prepared by reacting Hydrogen Fluoride(HF)and antimony pentachloride(SbF5) in 2 : 1 ratio . It is 10 quadrillion times m...
