Which of the following order(s) of oxyacids/oxysalts are correct according to their basicity?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
C, D
Solution:

Basicity depends on the number of ionizable −OH hydrogens, not total H atoms.

H₃PO₃ has 2 ionizable H, while H₃PO₂ has 1; therefore H₃PO₃ > H₃PO₂ → (D) correct.

For (C), the basicity values increase as: , so the given order is correct.

In (A) and (B), the compounds do not follow the required increase in ionizable −OH groups.

Hence, correct options are C, D.
