Why Hydrogen sulphide(H2S) is less acidic than Hydrogen Telluride( H2Te) ?
In group-16 down the group acidic character increases because down the group bond length between Hydrogen & group-16 element increase(due to large size of atoms)so bond strength decreases.Therefore H+ ion easily move from H2Te as compared to H2S,hence H2Te is more acidic than H2S.[A acid is said to be strong acid if it easily give H+ ion]
