  • Amphoteric oxides are the oxides which can react with both acids and base.
  • For example, Aluminium oxide (Al2O3).
  • Aluminium oxide reacts with acids like hydrochloric acid (HCl) and bases like sodium hydroxide (NaOH), to form salt and water.
  • Al2O3 + 6 HCl → 2Al2Cl3 + 3H2O

    (Salt)

    Al2O3 + 2 NaOH → 2 NaAlO2 + H2O

    (Salt)
