Hey Mate here is ur answer !!!!

In chemistry, an amphoteric compound is a molecule or ion that can react both as an acid and 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. Al2O3 is an example of an amphoteric oxide.

Hope it helps u dear
