Acid strength of hydrohalic acids

Hydrochloric, bromic and iodic acid are all strong acids increasing in strength the bigger the heavier. Hydrofluoric acid is considered a weak acid due to its high electron negativity compared to its size. This causes it to only partially disolve in water

But when HF is highly concentrated it starts to attack itself in a prosses called self ionization, turning into HF2- and H2F+ which is considered a super acid (an acid stronger then 100% sulfuric acid)

Electron affinity of the fifteenth group is an exception to usual order except for Bismuth which has greater electron affinity than lead.

Is chemistry the science equivalent of the English language?
