$(a)$ the least reactive element.
$(b)$ the most reactive metal.
$(c)$ the most reactive non-metal.
$(d)$ the least reactive non-metal.
$(e)$ the metal which can form a stable binary halide of the formula $MX_{2}$ ($X =$ halogen).
$(f)$ the metal which can form a predominantly stable covalent halide of the formula $MX$ ($X =$ halogen)?

$HClO_4$ is a stronger acid than $H_2SO_4$ due to which of the following reasons?
$1$. Oxidation state of $Cl$ in $HClO_4$ is $+7$ and that of $S$ in $H_2SO_4$ is $+6$.
$2$. $Cl$ is more electronegative than $S$.
$3$. $HClO_4$ is monobasic,whereas $H_2SO_4$ is dibasic.
$4$. $ClO_3$ part of $HClO_4$ can break $O-H$ bond more easily to liberate a proton than $SO_3$ part in $H_2SO_4$.
