16.2 Binary Acids, Oxoacids, and Polyprotic Acids | General Chemistry

Chad provides a comprehensive lesson on the trends in acidity for binary acids, oxoacids, and polyprotic acids. Both size (down a group) and electronegativity (to the right across a period) play a role in the strength of binary acids, whereas resonance-stabilization and electronegativity play a role in the strength of oxoacids. Finally, poly protic acids are capable of donating multiple protons, but each successive proton dissociates to a decreasing extent being more weakly acidic.

I've embedded this playlist as a course on my website with all the lessons organized by chapter in a collapsible menu and much of the content from the study guide included on the page. Check this lesson out at https://www.chadsprep.com/chads-gener...
