The normal balance of any account is the left side?
side which increases that account.
Why accumulated depreciation is recorded in the asset of balance sheet instead of recording in the liabilities side?
it is a contra asset (negative) hence that's why it is shown as decreasing amt on the balance sheet. In other words, the contra account of any given account is of the same type. So, the contra of a fixed-asset account is also a fixed asset account but with the opposite normal balance. That's why depreciation is in the asset section.
Why the ballance of the assets is always on debit side in T account?
Assets maintain a Debit balance and therefore any asset with a positive balance will be listed on the "debit" side of the account. The credit side of the T account for assets is used only to DECREASE that asset. For example Cash is an asset account and it's balance is listed on the Debit side, now your company spends "x" amount of dollars, that entry will be listed on the Credit side to decrease the cash account. If at anytime your Debit side of the asset is less than your Credit side it means that you have a LOSS. For example, you have $1,000 in your cash account and you record $1500 (credit) to the account. Your account will be listed as "OVERDRAWN" and will have a Credit Balance of $500, this of course is not acceptable. A company can never have a higher Credit balance than a Debit balance in their assets.

What accounts are balance sheet accounts?
A balance sheet account is any item that is found on the financial statement known as the balance sheet. The figures reflected on the balance sheet, consist of the ending balance of the balance sheet account. After all the transactions are posted in the individual balance sheet account's "T" account (involving debits and credits), the ending balance is the amount found on the balance sheet.
Is accumalted depreciation a liability?
No, even though accumulated depreciation has a credit balance, it is shown under assets. Accumulated depreciation is a contra T-account to a fixed tangible asset. For example, "Accumulated depreciation machines" is a contra T-account to "Machines". Contra T-accounts are presented together with the T-account they are connected with. Therefore, accumulated depreciation is shown on the debit side with assets. As it has a credit balance, the balance is subtracted. (The sign of a T-account 'flips' when the T-account is included on the opposite side on the balance sheet.)
