Keep smile ☺
when an element reacts with an Acid and Base both it is said to be amphoteric in nature.
some examples are:
oxides and Hydroxides
- Al2O3(aluminium oxide)
- ZnO (zinc oxide)
CuO (copper oxide)
~Acids donate protons (or accept electron pairs) and bases accept protons amphoteric substances can do either.
~One type of amphoteric species are amphiprotic molecules, which can either donate or accept a proton (H+).
example: amino acids, proteins which have amine and carboxylic acid groups, and self-ionizable compounds such as water.
