Answer:
phosphorous acid has two P-OH bonds and one P-O bond. ... Similarly, H2S2O7 and H2P2O7are divisive and tribasic respectively. Since H3PO2has only one proton available to ionize i.e. only one H+can be donated, therefore it is mono basic.

Hypophosphorous acid has one replaceable hydrogen. The hydrogen attached to P does not contribute to the acidity in acids.
