Amphoteric properties of proteins
due to the presence of free carboxylic and free amino groups at the end of protein it can react with acids and bases.
In acidic medium protein carries positive charges at amino group and in alkaline medium it carries negative charges at carboxylic group.
amino acids have both acidic and basic centers so when they react with an acid behave just like a Lewis base (accept the hydrogen ion) and when react with a base behave as an acid so amino acids show dual nature ,such compounds are known as amphoteric compounds.
Because they behave both as an acid or base
Presence of amino and carboxylic ends, which allows it to combine with both acid and base
An amino acid contains both a carboxyl group, which is acidic, and an amine group, which is basic, resulting in an amphoteric molecule.
Proteins are described as amphoteric since the amino acids within a protein are amphoteric. This meaning, that it can absorb anions and cations depending upon what the pH solution is.

No. Sodium oxide has only basic properties, no acidic ones.
Aluminium oxide is called Amphoteric oxide because it has both acidic and basic properties. Basic property: Al2O3 + H+ ----> Al3+ + H2O Acidic properties: Al2O3 + OH- + H2O----> [Al(OH)4]-
A substance that has both acidic and basic properties is said to be an amphoteric substance.
Yes. A substance with both acidic and basic properties is called an amphoteric substance. Water, while generally regarded as neutral, is actually amphoteric. Sodium bicarbonate is also amphoteric. While it usually acts as a base, it can act as an acid under highly alkaline conditions.

Yes it is an amphoteric oxide as it has both basic oxide and acidic oxide properties.
it is a amphoteric metal and it can react with both acid and base. amphoteric metal shows properties of both acid and base

Sodium chloride is not amphoteric.
