Want to know:

The equilibrium reactions for diprotic oxoacids with a general formula H2XO4 are represented by the equations above. The acid ionization constants for H2SeO4 and H2TeO4 are provided in the table. Which of the following best explains the difference in strength for these two acids?AH2SeO4H2SeO4 is weaker because SeSe has a smaller positive formal charge than TeTe, resulting in a decrease in its ability to transfer an H+H+ to H2OH2O.BH2TeO4H2TeO4 is weaker because TeTe has a smaller positive formal charge than TeTe, resulting in a decrease in its ability to transfer an H+H+ to H2OH2O.CH2SeO4H2SeO4 is weaker because SeSe is more electronegative than TeTe, resulting in more stable conjugate bases HSeO4−HSeO4− and SeO42−SeO42− than those for H2TeO4H2TeO4 .DH2TeO4H2TeO4 is weaker because TeTe is less electronegative than SeSe, resulting in less stable conjugate bases HTeO4−HTeO4− and TeO42−TeO42− tha
