    $\begingroup$ Please don't put multiple unrelated questions into one post. Also, are you confusing oxyacids with binary acids? Finally, google and Wikipedia are your friends, for instance: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_dihydrogenphosphate The notation reflects the composition but can also reflect the structure. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You can technically put the H in bracket for copper dihydrogen phosphate and it mean the same thing. It is an ionic compound comprising of cation and anion. So, by taking that into consideration, we can write $\ce{Cu^{+}(H2PO4)^{-}}$. For simplicity, remove the brackets and charge to give $\ce{CuH2PO4}$. We provide brackets to identify that the entity inside the bracket is a single anion. $\endgroup$
