Question

what is amphoteric nature?​

Answer 1

Answer:

An amphoteric nature has acidic and basic properties. When we refer to the acidic property of an amphoteric substance, we mean that it is capable of donating a proton in the form of a hydrogen ion or accepting electrons (like from hydroxide ions) when it reacts with a basic substance

Explanation:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

the nature of the elements which display both acidic and basic characteristics is called as Amphoteric nature.. the oxides formed by this nature are called Amphoteric oxide. Ex:Al2O3, ZnO, etc...
