ZnO is amphoteric- i.e. it dissolves in acids and bases. Magneisum isn't! Manganese dioxide is MnO2 disolves in potassium hydroxide. Is that what you mean?

Oxides that are both acids and bases?

Amphoteric oxides can act as both acids and bases. These oxides have the ability to donate or accept a proton depending on the reaction conditions. Common examples include aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and zinc oxide (ZnO).

The oxides of sodium and calcium are not amphoteric: They are strongly basic. The most common amphoteric oxides are silica and alumina.


What is amphoteric oxides?

Amphoteric oxides are compounds that can act as both acids and bases, meaning they can react with both acids and bases. These oxides exhibit this behavior depending on the reaction conditions. Examples of amphoteric oxides include zinc oxide and aluminum oxide.

Basic oxides: Examples include sodium oxide (Na2O) and calcium oxide (CaO). Acidic oxides: Examples include sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Amphoteric oxides: Examples include zinc oxide (ZnO) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Neutral oxides: Examples include carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO).


Is ZnO Amphoteric?

Yes, Zn is not highly electro positive. So, in ZnO molecule Zn gets a small partial positive charge and O gets a small partial negative charge. Thus, it can accept the lone pairs as well as donate the lone pairs and can act as Lewis acid and Lewis base simultaneously. That's why ZnO is amphoteric.


What is an amphoteric salt?

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.
