    Direction (14-17): The hydrides of chlorine, bromine and iodine can be made by direct reaction with hydrogen under suitable conditions. They are all strongly fuming gases and in water they form strongly acidic solutions. Reducing character, thermal stability and acidic nature of hydrides depends on the strength of H—X bond. HF has some unusual properties.
    Hydrogen halide which cannot act as reducing agent is

    A) HI                                

    B) HBr

    C) HP                               

    D) HCI.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    HF cannot act as reducing agent due to strongest H—X bond out of these.
