Asked by Jamie
Which of these compounds is more acidic:
HOCl and HOBr
According to electronegativity, it should be HOCl. But according to size, it should be HOBr...
I know the right answer is HOCl from an answer key, but I don't understand why. When do you consult atom size and when do you consult electronegativity when determining acidity?
