Amphiprotic compounds are able to both donate and accept a proton.
Amphiprotic compounds contain a hydrogen atom and lone pair of valence electron.
For example, HSO₃⁻ (hydrogen sulfate ion) is an amphiprotic compound.
Balanced chemical equation for reaction when HSO₃⁻ donate protons to water:
HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ SO₄²⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq).
Ka = [SO₄²⁻] · [H₃O⁺] / [HSO₃⁻]
Balanced chemical equation for reaction when HSO₃⁻ accepts protons from water:
HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₂SO₄(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
Kb = [H₂SO₄] · [OH⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]
Water (H₂O), amino acids, hydrogen carbonate ions (HCO₃⁻) are examples of amphiprotic species.
Another example, water is an amphiprotic substance:
H₂O + HCl → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻
H₂O + NH₃ → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

Answer:
i think it is letter b. rustability but not so sureeee
A Beta particles is emitted when an atom of 85Kr spontaneously decays.
Originally scientists believed in the plum pudding model of the atom (sphere of positive charge surrounded by smaller spheres of negative charge) then Rutherford did his scattering experiment (he shot alpha particles at a piece of gold foil some particles passed straight through the empty space of the atom, some were slightly deflected as they were closer to the atom's nucleus and some were completely reflected because they were headed in the path of the atom's nucleus
Answer:
Group 15
Explanation:
The elements of group 15 (column) VA of the periodic table all have electron configurations of s2p3 , giving them five valence electrons. These elements include Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb) and Bismuth (Bi).
