What is the sum of the oxidation state of phosphorus and number of P-OH bonds in H_3PO_4 ?

A : PH_(5) is not possible . [R] : -5 oxidation state of phosphorus is not possible .

Phosphorus cannot form PH_(5) with its outer electronic configuration as 3s^(3)3p^(3) because (A)phosphorus cannot show +5 oxidation state (B)P H 5 is not a stable compound (C)Δ a H value of dihydrogen and Δ e g H value of hydrogen do not favour higher oxidation state of phosphorus (D)phosphorus is not very reactive hence does not form P H 5
