Phosphorous forms different oxyacids such as, hypophosphorous acid H3PO2, orthophosphorous acid H3PO3 and orthophosphoric acid H3PO4. Orthophosphorous acid on heating forms orthophosphoric acid, which on heating first forms pyrophosphoric acid H4P2O7 and on further heating forms polyphosphoric acid. The correct statement is.

Phosphorus forms a number of oxoacids which differ in their structures and oxidation state of phosphorus. All the acids contain phosphorus atom/atoms linked tetrahedrally to four other atoms or groups. Each of them has at least one P = O or P  →  O  unit and one P - OH unit. The -OH group is ionisable but H atom linked directly to P is non-ionisable. Structures of all the  acids are considered to be derived either from phosphorus acid or phosphoric acid.

Which one is mono-basic acid?
