the compounds in which phosphorous posses the highest possible oxidation have to mention here.
The species in which phosphorous have the highest oxidation state are: H₃PO₄, P₂O₅, PCl₅
The possible oxidation state of phosphorous is III and V. The highest oxidation state is V. There are several compounds in which phosphorous posses the +5 oxidation state. Like- Phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄), phosphorous pentoxide (P₂O₅), Phosphorous chloride (PCl₅) etc.
The oxidation state of an element depends upon the valence electron the valence shell of phosphorous is 3s² 3p³. Thus there are 5 electrons, as it has vacant 3d orbital thus it can easily form compound having +5 oxidation state.
It was due to the metal foil in which the alpha particles can't even pass through. This experiment conducted by Rutherford led to the discovery of protons.

<span>Arrhenius
base, such as NaOH(aq), produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.
According to Arrhenius, base are compounds or ions that releases hydroxide (OH-)
ions in its aqueous form which is true for NaOH.</span>
