  • The conjugate base of $HClO _{4}$ is weaker base than $H _{2} O$
  • The central atom in both $HClO _{4}$ and $HClO$ is $sp ^{3}$ hybridized.
  • $HClO _{4}$ is more acidic than $HClO$ because of the resonance stabilization of its anion.
  • $HClO _{4}$ is formed in the reaction between $Cl _{2}$ and $H _{2} O$.

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
