Answer:
Here's ur answer
Explanation:
The oxygen atom in the water molecule has two lone pairs, one of which could be used to form a bond with a \(H^+\(, and, therefore, the water molecule could act as a base in a reaction. Since water has the potential to act both as an acid and as a base, water is amphoteric.
