on Acid-Base Properties
Stronger bonds = weaker acid Higher polarity = stronger acid
• Polarity increases as the difference in
electronegativity increases.

Oxyacids: acids containing oxygen
• Strength increases as the number of
oxygens increase
• oxygen is very electronegative and
pulls the electrons away from the other atom and weakens the bond.
