Species Oxidation state of P H 3 PO 4 +5 H 4 P 2 O 6 +4 H 3 PO 3 +3 H 3 P O2 +1

Species	Oxidation state of P
$H_{3} P O_{4}$	$+ 5$
$H_{4} P_{2} O_{6}$	$+ 4$
$H_{3} P O_{3}$	$+ 3$
$H_{3} P O_{2}$	$+ 1$

Q. The order of the oxidation state of the phosphorus atom in $H_{3} P O_{2}, H_{3} P O_{4}, H_{3} P O_{3}$ , and $H_{4} P_{2} O_{6}$ is

$H_{3} P O_{3} > H_{3} P O_{2} > H_{3} P O_{4} > H_{4} P_{2} O_{6}$

$H_{3} P O_{4} > H_{3} P O_{2} > H_{3} P O_{3} > H_{4} P_{2} O_{6}$

$H_{3} P O_{4} > H_{4} P_{2} O_{6} > H_{3} P O_{3} > H_{3} P O_{2}$

$H_{3} P O_{2} > H_{3} P O_{3} > H_{4} P_{2} O_{6} > H_{3} P O_{4}$

Species Oxidation state of P

$H_{3} P O_{4}$ $+ 5$

$H_{4} P_{2} O_{6}$ $+ 4$

$H_{3} P O_{3}$ $+ 3$

$H_{3} P O_{2}$ $+ 1$
