Detailed Solution

  • H2S is less acidic than H2Te. acidity depends on H-S and H-Te bond dissociation energy higher the bond dissociation energy. Less will be acidity. 
  • On moving down the group the size of the atom increases and ionization enthalpy decreases.
  •  This helps to dissociate the bond easily. That's why H2Te is more acidic than H2S.
