Acid or Base
zinc reacts with acids as in: Zn+H2SO4-ZnSO4+H2 zinc also reacts with bases as in: Zn+2NaOH - Na2ZnO2+H2 Therefore zinc should be amphoteric metal. But none of the sites states that zinc is amphoteric
A chemical species that behaves both as an acid and as a base is called an "Amphoteric species".Examples :H2O acts as an acid as well as a base.
Water is an amphoteric oxide of hydrogen. More specifically, it is an amphiprotic molecule, having the ability to accept a proton when it reacts with an acid: H2O + HCl → H3O+ + Cl- or to donate a proton when it reacts with a base: H2O + NH3 → NH4+ + OH-
Yes. The ammonium ion is weakly acidic.
Amphoteric Substance is one that can react as either an acid or base."Partly one and partly the other; neither acid nor alkaline; neutral" (I don't think this answer is correct)The word is derived from the Greek prefix ampho- meaning "both".Many metals (such as zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and beryllium) and most metalloids have amphoteric oxides. Other examples include amino acids and proteins, which have amine and carboxylic acid groups, and self-ionizable compounds such as water and ammonia.

Yes, water can react as an acid or a base - amphoteric.

it is a amphoteric metal and it can react with both acid and base. amphoteric metal shows properties of both acid and base

Inchemistry, an amphoteric substance is one that can react as either an acid or base.Many metals (such as zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and beryllium) and most metalloids have amphoteric oxides or hydroxides.Zinc oxide (ZnO) reacts differently depending on the pH of the solution:In acids: ZnO + 2H+ → Zn2+ + H2OIn bases: ZnO + H2O + 2OH- → [Zn(OH)4]2-This effect can be used to separate different cations, such as zinc from manganese.

amphoteric, it reacts with an acid or a base to form a salt and water (a neutralisation reaction) ZnO(s) + 2HCL (aq) = ZnCl2(aq) + H2O(l) ZnO (s) + 2OH- (aq) = ZnO22-(s) + H2O(l)
Sodium chloride is not amphoteric.
amphoteric
neutral species reacts with itself to form ionic species
