Is Hclo Stronger Than Hclo3

HClO3 is stronger than HClO. because as the number of oxygen atom increase the acid becomes more stronger.

Which is strongest acid HClO and HClO3?

And electronegativity of chlorine in turn is directly proportional to the oxidation state of chlorine. Thus, the order of acidic strength is HClO < HClO2 < HClO3 < HClO4 As the number of oxygen atoms attached to chlorine increases, acid strength increase. Hence, the correct option is (2).

Which one is the strongest acid HClO HClO2 HClO3 HClO4?

The HClO4 has the most oxygen atoms so it would have to be the strongest acid.
