Phosphorous forms a number of oxoacids which differ in their structures and oxidation state of phosphorous. Each of them has at least one `P = O` or `P rarr O` unit and one P-OH units. The OH group is ionisable but H atom linked directly to P is nonionisable. structures of all the acids are considered to be derived from phosphorous acid or phosphoric acid. The number of `P-H, P rarr O` or `P = O` & `P-O-H` bonds in orthophosphoric acid are respectively:A. 0,3,1B. 1,2,2C. 2,1,2D. 0,1,3

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Orthophosphoric acid: `H_(3)PO_(4)`
Hypophosphoric acid: `H_(4)P_(2)O_(6)`
