Explain why does the stability of oxoacids of chlorine increase in the order given below:
HClO < HClO2 < HClO3 < HClO4
Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine, therefore dispersal of negative charge present on chlorine increases from CIO to ClO4 ion because number of oxygen atoms attached to chlorine increases. Therefore, stability of ions will increase in the order given below:
ClO
Thus due to increase in stability of conjugate base, acidic strength of corresponding acid increases in the following order HClO < HClO2 < HClO5 < HClO4
