Explanation:-

Acidic Strength:-

  • Lewis acids are electron-pair acceptors while some acids are proton donors.
  • HO- is a conjugate base of water, where H3O+ is the conjugate acid.
  • Any molecule, atom or ion which stabilizes the conjugate base will always increase the acidity.
  • The acidic character increases with the increase in formal charge in the molecule.
  • Acidity is directly proportional to electronegativity.
  • Resonance effect - delocalization of negative charge in a molecule increases acidity.
  • Due to the increase in inductive effect acidic character increases.
  • Due to higher s-character acidity increases.
