does the acidity of an acid increase as you go to the right of the periodic table because it is more electronegative and therefore stable?

yes but its the conjugate base that is more stable if its more electronegative on the same row not the acid. The acid would therefore be strong (less stable) I presume. Hopefully others can correct me if I am wrong.
