The structure of orthophosphoric acid is
A.
Ortho phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is a tribasic acid. Hence its structure can be represented as O ← P(OH)3.
Hence, hybridisation of P in H3PO4 is sp3 and thus, it is tetrahedral in shape.

Urea is preferred to ammonium sulphate as a nitrogenous fertiliser because
it is more soluble in wate
it is cheaper than ammonium sulphate
it is quite stable
it does not cause acidity in the soil
