Compared to the oxyacids of nitrogen, phosphorus
presents a much more complicated picture particularly
due to the formation of condensed phosphates.
Phosphorus forms oxyacids in the oxidation numbers,
+1, +3, +4 and +5. The oxyacids with oxidation number
+3 and +5 occur in metal, pyro and ortho-forms. The
three oxyacids, H3PO2, H3PO3 and H3PO4 are based
on sp3 hybridized phosphorus and may be conceived to
be formed from hypophosphorus acid by stepwise
replacement of H by OH.
