Strong reducing behaviour of H3PO2 is due to

Question

Strong reducing behaviour of H3PO2 is due to (A) presence of one -OH group and two P-H bonds (B) high electron gain enthalpy of phosphorus (C) high oxidation state of phosphorus (D) presence of two -OH groups and one P-H bond

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Strong reducing behavior of H 3 PO 2 is due to the presence of one - OH group and two P - H bonds. The reducing properties of oxyacids of phosphorous are due to the presence of P - H bond. It has high tendency to release protons. Thus exhibits reducing nature.

Q. Strong reducing behaviour of $H_{3} P O_{2}$ is due to

presence of one -OH group and two P-H bonds

high electron gain enthalpy of phosphorus

high oxidation state of phosphorus

presence of two -OH groups and one P-H bond

Strong reducing behavior of $H_{3} P O_{2}$ is due to the presence of one - $O H$ group and two $P - H$ bonds.
The reducing properties of oxyacids of phosphorous are due to the presence of $P - H$ bond. It has high tendency to release protons. Thus exhibits reducing nature.
