The weak acid formed from the amphoteric metals of groups v & vi
especially W, V, Mo as central atom are known as poly acids. They
are mainly of 2 types.
1) The anions of weak acid derived from metals such as Mo, V, W
has the property of condensing reversibly as the ph is lowered to
give a series of anions from what are termed as iso poly acids.
General Formula

ISOPOLY ACIDS OF TUNGSTEN
The oxide of tungsten WO3 is strongly acidic and dissolve in aq. NaOH
forming Td tungstate ion [WO4]2-. When this tungstate solution is
acidified it condenses and gives an extensive range of poly tungstates .

HETERO POLY ACIDS / ANIONS
.The 2nd anion or atoms in the hetero poly anion is situated in the
cavities formed by MO6 Oh ( M = Mo , W ).
.The ratio of heteroatom like P, Si, B etc to central metal atoms like
Mo, W is usually 1:12 , 1:9 , 1:6 , 2:18.
HETEROPOLY ACID is a class of acid made up of a particular
combination of hydrogen and with oxygen certain metals and non-
metals. This type of acid is a common re-usable
acid catalyst in chemical reactions.
2)an element generally from the p-block of the periodic table, such
as silicon, phosphorus or arsenic, termed the hetero atom;
acidic hydrogen atoms.
.Due to the possibilities of there being different combinations of
addenda atoms and different types of hetero atoms there are a lot
of hetero polyacids. Two of the better known groups of these are
based on the Keggin, HnXM12O40, and Dawson, HnX2M18O62 .
3) 1:6 octahedral
These are formed with large no. of hetero atoms which coordinate
to 6 edge sharing MO6 octahedra.
Eg: [TeMo6OO24]6-
4) 1:9 octahedral
These are formed by encapsulating hetero atoms coordinated
to 9 edge sharing MO6.
Eg: [MnMo9O32]6-
