As we learnt in 

Thermal Stability of Hydride -

HF>HCl>HBr>HI

- wherein

Thermal stability increases with increase in electronegativity difference 

 

 As the bond strength increases, stability decreases.

\therefore Thermal Stability :HF>HCl>HBr>HI


Option 1)

H\! I>H\! Br>H\! Cl>H\! F

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

H\! F>H\! Cl>H\! Br>H\! I

This option is correct.

Option 3)

H\! Cl<H\! F>H\! Br<H\! I

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

H\! I>H\! Cl<H\! F>H\! Br

This option is incorrect.
