An acid that contains oxygen is called oxoacid.
Electronegativity of the central atom and the number of oxygen atoms determines the acidic strength of oxoacid.
As the electronegativity increases, acidic strength also increases.
As the number of oxygens increases, so does the acid strength.
So. the strength of oxyacids formed by nonmetals increases from left to right.
