Chemical Properties of Elements -

Nature of Oxy-acids

 

  • The strength of oxyacids formed by non-metals increases in moving from left to right in a period. Thus, oxyacids strength increases as shown below:

HNO3 > H2CO3 > H3BO3

  • In moving from top to bottom in a group, the strength of oxyacids decreases. Thus, the order is followed as given below:

HNO3 > H3PO4 > H3AsO4

  • If any non-metal forms a number of oxyacids, then the strength of oxyacids increases with the increase of oxygen atoms. Thus, chlorine forms a number of oxyacids and strength follows the given order:

HClO4 > HClO3 > HClO2 > HClO

-

When we go down the group the strength of oxyacids decreases and in period the strength increases.

Position of elements C - S - Cl - Br, going right side of table. 

Therefore, Option(3) is correct
