An amphoteric substance is one that can behave as a Lewis acid and a Bronsted base, iron is not amphoteric. The best examples of substances behaving as an acid and a base are found with metal hydroxides such as aluminum hydroxide and zinc hyhroxide. Only certain cations show amphoteric behavior, for example if NaOH is added in small amounts to solutions of Fe3+ and Al3+ both will initially form precipitates (rust colored iron hydroxide and white aluminum hydroxide). Because Al(OH)3 is an amphoteric hydroxide and Fe(OH)3 is not, adding more NaOH will redissolve the Al(OH)3 and leave Fe(OH)3 as an insoluble solid. Commonly encountered cations that form amphoteric hydroxides are Al3+, Cr3+, Zn2+, Pb2+, Sn4+ and Sb3+. (Source:http://employees.oneonta.edu/kotzjc/LAB/Complexation.pdf pages 28-29)
No it is a basic oxide
NO
it is
No, only aluminum oxide, lead oxide and zinc oxide are amphoteric oxides.
Gallium Oxide is an amphoteric Oxide because it is just below Aluminum in periodic table which also gives amphoteric oxide Regards: Engineer Ahmad
No. Zinc oxide is a amphoteric oxide.
No, it is hardly soluble in sodium hydroxide though it is amphoteric. It's better in (hydrochloric) acid.
it is a neutral oxide insoluble in water, but behaves as amphoteric compound.
Yes it is an amphoteric oxide as it has both basic oxide and acidic oxide properties.
No, only aluminum oxide, lead oxide and zinc oxide are amphoteric oxides.
Aluminium, Silicon, Zinc, Iron, and many more

Acidic oxide, e.g. sulphur dioxide Basic oxide, e.g. iron oxide Neutral oxide, e.g. water Amphoteric oxide, e.g. zinc oxide
Amphoteric oxide.
Yes, beryllium oxide is amphoteric because can be dissolved by acids and bases..
No. Zinc oxide is a amphoteric oxide.
Sodium oxide, Magnesium oxide, Copper oxide, Acidic oxide, Amphoteric oxide
It is an AMPHOTERIC oxide. That is , in an environment of low(acid) pH it behaves as a BASE. In an environment of high(alkaline) pH it behaves as an ACID.
No, it is hardly soluble in sodium hydroxide though it is amphoteric. It's better in (hydrochloric) acid.
No. Sodium oxide has only basic properties, no acidic ones.
