What is the difference between the nature of pi-bonds present in `H_3PO_3` and `HNO_3` molecules?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand the difference between the nature of pi-bonds present in \( H_3PO_3 \) (phosphorous acid) and \( HNO_3 \) (nitric acid), we need to analyze the structures of both molecules and the bonding involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Central Atoms**: - In \( H_3PO_3 \), the central atom is phosphorus (P). - In \( HNO_3 \), the central atom is nitrogen (N). ...
