Metal oxides which react with both acids as well as bases to produce salts and water are known as amphoteric oxides. Many metals (such as zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and beryllium) form amphoteric oxides or hydroxides. ... Amphoteric oxides also include lead (II) oxide, and zinc (II) oxide, among many others.

What are amphoteric oxides give examples?

Amphoteric oxides react with both acids and alkalis to form salt and water. Examples of amphoteric oxides are zinc oxide and aluminium oxide.

What are amphoteric oxides give examples and write their chemical equations?

-Amphoteric oxide is an oxide that reacts with both acids and bases. In other words, it possesses both acidic and basic properties. For example both zinc and aluminium are metals but their oxides, ZnO and Al2O3 are amphoteric oxides as they react with both acids and bases.
