Phosphorus forms a number of oxoacids. Out of these oxoacids, phosphinic acid has strong reducing property. Write its structure and also write a reaction showing its reducing behaviour.
Among various forms of oxoacids, phosphinic acid has stronger reducing property.
Reaction showing reducing behaviour of phosphinic acid is as follows
$$4 \mathrm{AgNO}_3+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_2 \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{Ag} \downarrow+4 \mathrm{HNO}_3+\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4$$
