This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine, the negative charge on chlorine disperses from ClO− to ClO4− ion as the number of oxygen atoms linked to chlorine grows. As a result, ion stability will improve in the following order:
As the stability of the conjugate base rises, the acidic strength of the corresponding acid increases in the following order:
HClO < HClO2 < HClO3 < HClO4
