Strong reducing behaviour of \(H_3PO_2\) is due to
- A low co-ordination number of phosphorus
- B high oxidation state of phosphorus
- C presence of two \(-OH\) groups and one \(P-H\) bond
- D presence of one \(-OH\) group and two \(P-H\) bonds.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) presence of one \(-OH\) group and two \(P-H\) bonds.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Strong reducing behaviour of \(\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{2}\) All oxy-acid of phosphorus which contain \(\mathrm{P}-\mathrm{H}\) bond act as reductant.
