In which of the following arrangements, the sequence is not strictly according to the property written against it ?
increasing oxidising power
increasing acid strength
increasing basic strength
increasing first ionization enthalpy
As we learnt in
Reducing power of Hydride -
Increases down the group
As we move down the group, the acidic strength of hydrides increases. So, option 3 is incorrect.
Option 1)
increasing oxidising power
This option is incorrect.
Option 2)
increasing acid strength
This option is incorrect.
Option 3)
increasing basic strength
This option is correct.
Option 4)
increasing first ionization enthalpy
This option is incorrect.
