हिन्दीIn which one of the following arrangements the given sequence is NOT strictly according to the properties indicated against it?
Correct answer · Option 1
\( \mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O} < \mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{S} < \mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{Se} < \mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{Te} \) (Increasing \( \mathrm{pK}_{a} \) values)
Explanation
Acidic strength increases with decreasing bond dissociation enthalpy, so \( \mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O} \) is the weakest acid and has the highest \( \mathrm{pK}_{a} \) value, making option (1) incorrect because higher \( \mathrm{pK}_{a} \) means weaker acid.
