Which factor does NOT affect the strength of a binary acid HX?
A.The color of X₂
B.Bond strength
C.Size of X
D.Electronegativity of X
Explanation
Core Concept
Color is irrelevant to acidity. Bond strength (weaker H–X = stronger acid), size, and conjugate-base stability do matter.
Correct Answer
AThe color of X₂
