\nAn amphoteric oxide is one that exhibits both acidic and basic properties, meaning it can react with both acids and bases to form salts. Aluminium oxide (Al\u2082O\u2083) is a common example of an amphoteric oxide. It reacts with acids like HCl to form aluminium chloride and water (basic behaviour) and with bases like NaOH to form sodium aluminate (acidic behaviour).
\n<\/section>\n
\nAmphoteric oxides react with both acids and bases. Aluminium oxide (Al\u2082O\u2083) is an amphoteric oxide.
\n<\/section>\n
\nMgO (Magnesium oxide) and Na\u2082O (Sodium oxide) are basic oxides, typical of alkali and alkaline earth metal oxides. P\u2084O\u2081\u2080 (Phosphorus pentoxide) is an acidic oxide, typical of non-metal oxides, reacting with water to form phosphoric acid and with bases to form phosphates.
