What is amphotheoric oxide |
|
Answer» Amphoteric oxides are the oxides which shows both acidic and basic nature by reacting with both acids and bases. It includes Al2O3 and ZnO.......Acidic nature of ZnO... ZnO +2HCl ---> ZnCl2+H2O.. Basic nature of ZnO .. ZnO + 2 NaOH --> Na2ZnO2+ H2O . Such metal oxides which react with both acid as well as acid to produce salts and water are known as amphotheric oxide. It is a metallic oxide.ti shows the both acidic as well as basic characters. In the strong acidic characters it show basic and in the strong basic characters it shows acidic.Eg:-) al2o3 and cacl2+h2o an amphoteric compound is a molecule or ion that can react both as an acid as well as a base It has both acidic and basic nature like -PbO,ZNO |
