Strong Acids

[DanielleNario1A]

HF would be considered a weaker acid that HI because the electrons have less space to delocalize?

[juliasloan_4g]

HF is weaker than HI because Iodine is a larger atom and thus it is going to have a weaker bond with hydrogen. Because of this it can give away the hydrogen very easily making it a stronger acid.

I think that thinking of this aside from the size of atoms, you can think about the electronegativity differences to determine bond strength.

[Tony Chung 2I]

Based off of what the person above me said, the longer the bond length, the weaker it is

[Lydia Luong 4L]

yes, HF is weaker than HI. longer bond = weaker

[Angela Grant 1D]

One reason that HF is a weaker acid than HI is because of the stronger bond - it is less likely to donate a proton

HI has longer bond than HF, so it will be more easily dissociated in water, and this results in stronger acidity.
