State
Nonmetal hydride acid strength rises left to right across a period and down a group, tracking electronegativity and bond weakness.
Show
Hydrogen fluoride is weaker than hydrogen chloride, and ammonia is weaker than water.
Watch for
Assuming HF is the strongest hydrohalic acid because fluorine is most electronegative mistakes a period trend for the group trend, where weaker bonds make HF the weakest.
