Vedclass · Answer

(A) The formula for hypophosphorous acid $(H_3PO_2)$ is $H(H_2PO_2)$. It is a monobasic acid because it contains only one $P-OH$ bond. Therefore,it can only form one type of salt,which is $NaH_2PO_2$ (sodium hypophosphite). It cannot form a 'sodium hydrogen hypophosphite' salt because there are no replaceable hydrogen atoms left after the formation of the primary salt. Thus,option $A$ is not possible.
