Draw the structures of following oxoacids of phosphorus :
(i) Orthophosphoric acid `(H_(3)PO_(4))`
(ii) Pyrosphosphoric acid `(H_(4)P_(2)O_(7))`
(iii) Orthophosphorus acid `(H_(3)PO_(3))`
(iv) Hypophosphorus acid `(H_(3)PO_(2))`
(v) Cyclotrimetaphosphoric acid `(HPO_(3))_(3)`
(vi) Polymetaphosphoric acid `(HPO_(3))_(n)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In oxoacids, phosphorus is tertrahedrally surrounded by other atoms. All these acids contain atleast one P = O bond and one P-OH bond.
The oxoacids in which phosphorus has oxidation state less than (+5) contain either P-P bond or P-H bond in addition to P-OH and P = O bonds but not both.
