Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Generalized structure for the neutral form for a monoester of phosphoric acid has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Esters are obtained when an acid react with an alcohol. If the considered acid is a carboxylic acid then the obtained ester is an organic ester. Same like carboxylic acids, inorganic acid also reacts with alcohol to form inorganic ester.
(b)
Interpretation:
Generalized structure for the ionic form for a monoester of phosphoric acid has to be drawn.

(c)
Interpretation:
Generalized structure for the neutral form of triphosphoric acid has to be drawn.
(d)
Interpretation:
