    Which of the following is most volatile?

    A) \[\text{HF}\]          

    B) \[\text{HCl}\]

    C) \[\text{HBr}\]        

    D) \[\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ HI}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The bond strength of H?X decreases from HF to HI because the dissociation energy of H?X bond decreases from HF to HI. \[\begin{align}   & \text{Hydrogen}\,\text{halide:}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,H-F\,\,\,\,H-Cl\,\,\,\,HBr\,\,\,\,HI \\  & \text{Dissociation}\,\text{engery}\,\,\,\,566\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,431\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,366\,\,\,\,\,\,299 \\  & (kJ\,mo{{l}^{-}}) \\ \end{align}\]
