H₃PO₄ is called phosphoric acid, also called orthophosphoric acid.
- There is a total of 32 valence electrons for H₃PO₄. H (or H2 or H3) in front of a polyatomic molecule (like CO3, SO4, NO2, PO4). Then it's an acid. This means that the Hydrogen atoms will be attached to the outside of the oxygen molecules.
- It is a colourless oxyacid of phosphorus.
- Phosphorus is at the center and forms four bonds. One bond is a double bond whereas, the three bonds are single bonds.
- Phosphorus forms a double bond with oxygen, and two single bonds with hydroxide, and one bond with hydrogen.
- The bond length of P=0 is 150pm, and P--OH is 155pm, and that of P-H is 139pm.
- It forms 3-D structure.
