Arsenous acid (As(OH)₃) is the stable tautomer of H₃AsO₃.^[3]

Phosphorous acid (also called phosphonic acid) exists as the pentavalent tautomer, in contrast to H₃AsO₃.

Arsonic acid is the simplest of the arsonic acids. It is a hypothetical compound, although the tautomeric arsenious acid (As(OH)₃) is well established. In contrast to the instability of HAsO(OH)₂, the phosphorus compound with analogous stoichiometry exists as the tetrahedral tautomer. Similarly, organic derivatives such as phenylarsonic acid are tetrahedral with pentavalent central atom.^[4]

There are similar acids that are the same except for having different pnictogens. The phosphorus equivalent is phosphonic acid.
