OXOACIDS OF PHOSPHOROUS|CHLORIDES OF PHOSPHOROUS

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 metal forms a chloride with the formula MCl_(2) . Formula of Phosphoric acid is H_(3)PO_(4) Formula of the phosphate of the metal is

In white phosphorous /_ PPP = 90^@ .
