All oxyacids have the acidic hydrogen bound to an oxygen atom, so bond strength (length) is not a factor, as it is with binary nonmetal hydrides. Rather, the electronegativity of the central atom and the number of oxygen atoms determine oxyacid acidity. For oxyacids with the same central atom, acid strength increases with the number of oxygen ...
Hypophosphorous acid (HPA), or phosphinic acid, is a phosphorus oxyacid and a powerful reducing agent with molecular formula H 3 PO 2.It is a colorless low-melting compound, which is soluble in water, dioxane and alcohols.
Sulfur oxoacids are chemical compounds that contain sulfur, oxygen, and hydrogen.The best known and most important industrially used is sulfuric acid.Sulfur has several oxoacids; however, some of these are known only from their salts (these are shown in italics in the table below).
In chemistry, phosphorus oxoacid (or phosphorus acid) is a generic name for any acid whose molecule consists of atoms of phosphorus, oxygen, and hydrogen. [1] There is a potentially infinite number of such compounds.

Oxidizing acids, being strong oxidizing agents, can often oxidize certain less reactive metals, in which the active oxidizing agent is not H + ions. For example, copper is a rather unreactive metal, and has no reaction with concentrated hydrochloric acid.
Hypofluorous acid, chemical formula H O F, is the only known oxyacid of fluorine and the only known oxoacid in which the main atom gains electrons from oxygen to create a negative oxidation state.
Sulfonic acids, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid (tosylic acid) are a class of strong organic oxyacids. [7] Some sulfonic acids can be isolated as solids. Polystyrene functionalized into polystyrene sulfonate is an example of a substance that is a solid strong acid.
