Best Answer

Yes it is amphoteric it has approximately the same amount of ionic and covalent character making it amphoteric and thus reacting with both Acids such as HCl and Bases such as NaOH.]

SnO2 + 4HCl (aq, Conc) / (g) -> SnCl4 + 2H2O

SnO2 + NaOH + H2O -> Na2+[Sn(OH)6]2-(aq)

SnO + 2HCl -> SnCl2 + H2O

SnO + 2NaOH + H2O -> Na2+[Sn(OH)4]2-(aq)
