I: | Acid strength increases in the order given as HF < HCl < HBr < HI. |
II: | As the size of the elements F, Cl, Br, I increases down the group, the bond strength of HF, HCI, HBr, and HI decreases and so the acid strength increases. |
1. | I is correct but II is False. |
2. | I is incorrect but II is True. |
3. | Both I and II are True. |
4. | Both I and II are False. |
