Question

Complete the sentences to explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

1-b

2-weaker(option is incorrect)

3-a

Explanation:

1-b because iodine is more electronegative because of this negative on iodine will be more stable as negative charge on more electronegative element is more stable.

2-weaker as size of Te (Tellurium) is greater than S (sulphur) so bond length of H-Te is larger than H-S and therefore bond energy will be lesser and can easily give hydrogen in case of H-Te. as bond energy is inversly proportional to bond length.

3-a hydrogen has more negative electron affinity so hydrogen will have -1 charge and it will behave as a electron donar atom that is basic not acidic hence NaH is not acidic.
