Explanation of Solution
The given compounds are shown below.
Figure 1
The acidity of an atom is directly proportional to the electronegativity of an atom. The
Compound C contains
Compound A contains sulfur atom which is less electronegative than oxygen atom but it contains a chlorine atom. Chlorine atom is electronegative in nature due to which acidity of compound A increases.
Therefore, the order of acidity of the compounds is shown below.
