The true statement for the acids of phosphorus,

\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_2, \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_3

and

\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

The geometry of phosphorus is tetrahedral in all the three

Option D is correct because

\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_2, \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_3

and

\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4

all have phosphorus with

sp^3

hybridization, resulting in a tetrahedral geometry.
