rank the following compounds in order of decreasing acidity putting the most acidic first ch4 nh3 hf h20Figure:Chemical bonds in figures

Answered by admin @



Answer: HF> H2O> NH3 >CH4

Explanation:

More electronegative elements often form better acids when bonded to hydrogen. This is because of the relative stability of the  anions formed.  The more electronegative elements are better conjugate bases hence they form strong acids. Summarily, electronegativity plays a key role in deciding the strength of acids.
