Vedclass · Answer

(C) The acidic strength of $XOH$ is greater than $YOH$. In a group,as we move down,the metallic character increases,which means the basic strength of hydroxides increases and acidic strength decreases. Since $XOH$ is a stronger acid than $YOH$,$X$ must be located above $Y$ in the group. For an acid $MOH$,the acidic strength depends on the ease of breaking the $O-H$ bond. Since $XOH$ is a stronger acid,the $O-H$ bond in $XOH$ is more polarized and easier to break compared to $YOH$.

If $X(OH) > Y(OH)$ (acidic strength) and $X$ and $Y$ both belong to the same group,then select the $CORRECT$ statement:
