उत्तर
Strong reducing behaviour of \[\ce{H3PO2}\] is due to presence of one –OH group and two P–H bonds.
Explanation:
\[\ce{H3PO2}\] has one O – H group and two P – H bonds.
The existence of a P – H link gives phosphorus oxyacids their reducing characteristics. It has a strong proclivity for releasing protons. As a result, it demonstrates a decreasing nature.
