Question

what do u mean by the term amphoteric ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

An amphoteric substance is one that can act as either an acid or a base, depending on the medium. The word comes from the Greek amphoteros or amphoteroi, meaning "each or both of two" and, essentially, "either acid or alkaline."

Amphiprotic molecules are a type of amphoteric species that either donates or accepts a proton (H+), depending on the conditions. Not all amphoteric molecules are amphiprotic.

Answer 2

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.
