(N/A) In oxoacids,phosphorus is tetrahedrally surrounded by other atoms. All these acids contain at least one $P=O$ bond and one $P-OH$ bond.
The oxoacids in which phosphorus has an oxidation state less than $+5$ contain either a $P-P$ bond or a $P-H$ bond in addition to $P-OH$ and $P=O$ bonds,but not both. The structures are provided in the reference image.
