Which one of the following statements is not true?
Multiple Choice Options
- A Among halide ions, iodide is the most powerful reducing agent.
- B Fluorine is the only halogen that does not show a variable oxidation state.
- C HOCl is a stronger acid than HOBr.
- D HF is a stronger acid than HCl.

F is more electronegative than Cl therefore
HF bond is stronger than HCl and hence proton
is not given off easily and hence HF is a weakest
acid.
