a
Three important oxidation states of phosporous are:
Three important oxidation states of phosporous are:
$+3$ is due to the participation of only $3 P ^3$ (due to inert pair effect). Only three electrons involve in bond formation.
$+5$ is due to the participation of $3 s ^2 3 P ^3$ (due to absence of inert pair effect). All the five electrons involves in bond formation.
$-3$ is due to gain of three electrons as it has five electrons in valence shell so as to attain octet configaration.
