an amphoteric compound is a molecule or ion that can react both as an acid as well as a base. Many metals (such as copper, zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and beryllium) form amphoteric oxides or hydroxides. Amphoterism depends on the oxidation states of the oxide.
Examples
Metal oxides which react with both acids as well as bases to produce salts and water are known as amphoteric oxides. ...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) reacts with both acids and with bases:
Lead oxide (PbO):
Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
Stannous oxide (SnO)
Aluminium hydroxide is also amphoteric:
