Phosphorus forms a variety of oxyacids. ...

Phosphorus forms a variety of oxyacids. In all these, phosphorus is `sp^3` hybridised and is tetrahedrally bonded to four neighbouring atoms. These contain P-OH bonds, the hydrogen of which are ionisable giving acidic character to these compounds. These also contain P-H bonds in which hydrogens are notionisable because P and H have nearly same electronegativity. The presence of P-H group in these oxyacids is responsible for their reducing properties. The structures of some oxyacids are given below :
