sulphate ion is not amphoteric because according to Bronsted-Lowry concept an amphoteric specie is that which can donate as well as accept aproton but sulphate ion is not capable of donating proton so it is not amphoteric

What is the valency of a sulphate ion?
The formula for a sulphate ion is SO42- so the valency of a sulphate ion is -2.
What is the ion charge on sulphate?
-2
What is the charge on the ferrous ion in ferrous sulphate?
The Ferrous ion has a '2+' charge. Hence the formula for ferrous sulphate is FeSO4. NB The Ferric ion has a '3+' charge. Hence the formula for ferric sulphate is Fe2(SO4)3
What is the formula for a sulphate VI ion?
SO4^2-
What is the name of the polyatomic ion Na2SO4?
SO4-^2= Sulphate
Is a bicarbonate ion an amphoteric substance?
amphoteric
Symbol for sulphate ion?
The formula of the sulphate ion is SO42-
Is sulphide ion amphoteric?
No. It is highly basic.
Is ammonium ion amphoteric species?
Yes. The ammonium ion is weakly acidic.
Is sulphate ion same as sulphate radical?
No
What is the valency of a sulphate ion?
The formula for a sulphate ion is SO42- so the valency of a sulphate ion is -2.
What is a substance which acts as both an acid and a base?
An example would be water which can gain a proton to form the hydroxonium ion (acting as a base) or donate a proton forming the hydroxide ion (acting as an acid). An acid is a proton donor; a base is a proton acceptor.
What are amphoteric metals?
Amphoteric is a chemical entity (ion or molecule) which can react as an acid but also as a base. Compounds of beryllium, tin, aluminium, lead, zinc have amphoteric hydroxides and oxides.
How can aluminum sulphate dissolve copper?
the aluminium is split with the sulphate ion. this leaves the sulphate on its own with a charge. the copper then takes the place of the aluminium turning the charge of the sulphate ion to neutral, this leaves the aluminium and copper sulphate.
What is the formula for iron2 sulphate?
Iron (II) sulphate has the formula FeSO4. The sulphate ion has a 2- charge, and the iron (II) ion has a 2+ charge, so only one of each ion is needed to form a neutral iron (II) sulphate compound.
What is the ion that is SO 4 with a -2 charge?
The Sulphate ion
What is the ion charge on sulphate?
-2
