Halogen oxoacids, table

The acid strengths and oxidizing abilities of the halogen oxoacids (Table 15.8) increase with the oxidation number of the halogen. The... 

The halogen oxoacids and oxoanions are produced by reaction of the halogens and their oxides with water. Most of the oxoacids are stable only in solution. Table 14.3 (next page) shows ball-and-stick models of the acids in which each atom has its lowest formal charge note that H is bonded to O. (We ll discuss factors that determine the relative strengths of the halogen oxoacids in Chapter 18.)...

Oxoacids of Chlorine The halogens form a variety of oxoacids (Table 22.10). Figure 22.50 shows the structures of the chlorine oxoacids. The acidic character of these... 

Another point to notice in Table 18.2 is that any given halogen oxoacid is a better oxidizing agent—that is, has a higher standard reduction potential—than its corresponding oxoanion. Take the HOCl/OCH case as typical. Equation (18.28) shows the half-equation for hypochlorous acid in acid solution ... 

Table 24-5 lists the known oxoacids of the halogens, their sodium salts, and some trends in properties. Only three oxoacids, HCIO4, HIO3, and H5lO, have been isolated in anhydrous form. The others are known only in aqueous solution. In all these acids the H is bonded through an O. 

The acid equilibrium constants of the oxoacids of the halogens are hsted in Table 21.5. Notice that the value of K, increases with... 

Fluorine, the most electronegative element, adopts the -1 oxidation state in its compounds. The other halogens, when bonded to a more electronegative element such as oxygen, can have any one of several positive oxidation states +1, +3, +5, or +7. This variability of oxidation states, which was illustrated through electrode potential diagrams for chlorine (Fig. 22-4), is emphasized again by the oxoacids listed in Table 22.7. The structures of some of these...
