Question:

Phosphorus forms an extensive series of oxoanions.
(a) Draw a structure, and give the charge for an oxophosphate anion with the formula [P₄O₁₃]ⁿ⁻. How many ionizable H atoms should the completely protonated acid have?
(b) Draw a structure, and give the charge for a cyclic oxophosphate anion with the formula [P₄O₁₂]ⁿ⁻. How many ionizable H atoms should the completely protonated acid have?
