Is it possable for chemical to behave as an acid and a base?

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.


All compounds are neutral.?

Compounds can be neutral, positively charged, or negatively charged. The overall charge of a compound depends on the balance between the positively and negatively charged ions or atoms that make it up.


What are oxides write the names of its four kinds?

Oxides are chemical compounds made up of oxygen and another element. The four main types of oxides are acidic oxides, basic oxides, amphoteric oxides, and neutral oxides. Acidic oxides react with water to form acids, basic oxides react with water to form bases, amphoteric oxides can act as either acid or base, and neutral oxides do not react with water to form either acids or bases.


What is an Amphoteric substance?

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.


Is Water a neutral or amphoteric oxide?

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-

What is the difference between neutron and a electorns?

The difference between neutron are neutral, and electrons have a negative change too them. Neutron is a neutral particle that exists in the nucleus of an atom. The year when the neutron was founded was 1932.


What is the overall charge of most compounds?

Compounds can be charged by different methods. But naturally most of the compounds are uncharged. So the overall charge of most compounds is neutral.
