Answer:
An amphoteric oxide is an oxide which reacts with both acids and bases. CO2 can react with bases but not with acids(but it can make carbonic acid by dissolving in water). Hence its not an amphoteric oxide.
Same is with H2O. It reacts with acids to form ions whereas it does not react with bases. Some bases dissolve in it to form alkalies. Hence Its also amphoteric in nature.
