The orrect answer for above ststement is:

C. They are often amines

Amines ara covalent compounds and they coomomly are bases because they have lonley pair of electrons which can accept protons.

Explanation:

In the Lewis model, the H+ ion is the mobile species it receives a couple of electrons from the OH- ion to form a covalent bond. While the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, bases distribute pairs of electrons and acids allow sets of electrons

Identify the effect of increasing acidity on the solubility of the given compounds.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

All the given compounds are basic on acidifying their solubility increases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

$C a_{3}\left(P O_{4}\right)_{2}$ solubility will increase, since it is basic in nature, on acidifying solubility increases.
$F e S$ being basic on acidification, the solubility increases.
$M g C O_{3}$ is alkaline in nature, it gets neutralized and there is no increase in acidity.
$M g B r_{2}$ is a salt and it shows no effect on acidification.
$A g I$ is a salt but insoluble in water and shows no effect on acidification.
$M g(O H)_{2}$ is strongly basic in nature, on acidifying the solubility increases.

What is the nuclear charge of an alpha particle?

kvasek [131]

Alpha particles are released by high mass, proton rich unstable nuclei. The alpha particle is a helium nucleus; it consists of two protons and two neutrons. It contains no electrons to balance the two positively charged protons. Alpha particles are therefore positively charged particles moving at high speeds.
