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?
