(N/A) The oxoacids of halogens are summarized in the table below:
Oxidation State Name and Formula
$Halic(I)$ acid $HOF$ (Hypofluorous acid),$HOCl$ (Hypochlorous acid),$HOBr$ (Hypobromous acid),$HOI$ (Hypoiodous acid)
$Halic(III)$ acid $HOClO$ (Chlorous acid)
$Halic(V)$ acid $HOClO_2$ (Chloric acid),$HOBrO_2$ (Bromic acid),$HOIO_2$ (Iodic acid)
$Halic(VII)$ acid $HOClO_3$ (Perchloric acid),$HOBrO_3$ (Perbromic acid),$HOIO_3$ (Periodic acid)

Due to its small size and high electronegativity,fluorine forms only one oxoacid,$HOF$ (hypofluorous acid). Most oxoacids of halogens are stable only in aqueous solution or in the form of their salts and cannot be isolated in a pure state.
