Question

define ampoteric oxides .with example​

Answer 1

Answer:

'Oxides of metals' that is having both the acidic behaviour as well as basic behaviour are referred to as amphoteric oxides. Those metallic oxides are react with the acids and also to the base to produce water and salt. Examples of 'Amphoteric oxides' are zinc oxide and aluminium oxide.

have a nice day my friend :)

Answer 2

Explanation:

In chemistry, an amphoteric compound is a molecule or ion that can react both as an acid and as a base.What exactly this can mean depends on which definitions of acids and bases are being used. The prefix of the word 'amphoteric' is derived from a Greek prefix amphi-, which means both.

Metal oxides which react with both acids as well as bases to produce salts and water are known as amphoteric oxides. Many metals (such as zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and beryllium) form amphoteric oxides or hydroxides. Al2O3 is an example of an amphoteric oxide.
