Answer :

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. Amphoteric depends on the oxidation states of the oxide. Al2O3 is an example of an amphoteric oxide.

Acidity increases from left to right, ranging from strongly basic oxides on the left to strongly acidic ones on the right, with an amphoteric oxide (aluminum oxide) in the middle. An amphoteric oxide is one which shows both acidic and basic properties.
