Chad provides a comprehensive lesson on the trends in acidity for binary acids, oxoacids, and polyprotic acids. Both size (down a group) and electronegativity (to the right across a period) play a role in the strength of binary acids, whereas resonance-stabilization and electronegativity play a role in the strength of oxoacids. This is demonstrated with the oxoacids of chlorine. Finally, poly protic acids are capable of donating multiple protons, but each successive proton dissociates to a decreasing extent being more weakly acidic. I've embedded this playlist as a course on my website with all the lessons organized by chapter in a collapsible menu and much of the content from the study guide included on the page.
