|
Definition
| For a series of oxoacids, (HO)mYOnv, the acid strength increases with n, the number of O atoms bonded to Y (excluding O atoms in OH group) |

| Oxoacids and Electronegativity... |
|
Definition
For a series of oxoacids of the same structure, differing only in the atom, Y, the acid strength increases with the electronegitivity of Y

Definition
Going across a row of elements of the periodic table, the electronegativity increase, the H-X bond polarity increases; which means there is a higher partial positive/negative - weaker bond; thus, the acid strength increases

Definition
| Going down a column of elements of the periodic table, the size of an atom X increases, the H-X bond strength decreases, and the strength of the binary acid increase. |
