WHAT DOES PHOSPHITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Phosphite

A phosphite in inorganic chemistry is a salt of phosphorous acid, H3PO3 and following the IUPAC naming recommendations the phosphite ion would be PO33− a salt of P3. Historically phosphite has referred to salts containing HPO32− and this is because aqueous H3PO3 is not triprotic P3 but almost exclusively the diprotic HP2. The IUPAC recommended name for the HPO32− ion is phosphonate and this naming convention is becoming more common. In the US the IUPAC naming conventions for inorganic compounds are taught at high school. A well known university level text book follows the IUPAC recommendations. In practise any reference to "phosphite" should be investigated carefully to determine which naming convention is being employed. The term phosphite is also used to mean phosphite ester, an organophosphorus compound with the formula P3.
