This chapter delves into the relationship between molecular structure and acid strength, particularly focusing on acids formed by different central atoms (Z) that belong to the same group. It highlights the importance of electronegativity in determining acid strength, illustrating that it typically increases with higher electronegativity. For instance, HClO₃ is shown to be a stronger acid than HBrO₃. Key concepts discussed include oxidation states, molecular geometry, and comparative acidity within groups in the periodic table.
