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.
