KnowraAmphoterismLinked fromLinked fromThe 12 pages that link to Amphoterism, each with the reason it gives.All 12Related 6Narrower topic 3Compared with 3AcidCompared with: Amphoteric substances can donate or accept protons rather than acting only as acids.LeadRelated: Lead oxides show acid-base behavior that depends on the compound and reaction conditions.AluminaRelated: Alumina reacts with strong acids and strong bases, shaping its refining chemistry.AcidityRelated: Some substances can display acidity or basicity according to their reaction partner.OxideRelated: Some oxides, including alumina and zinc oxide, react with both acids and bases.Lead(II) oxideRelated: Lead(II) oxide reacts with acids and, under suitable conditions, with strong bases.Aluminium hydroxideNarrower topic: Aluminium hydroxide dissolves in both acidic and strongly alkaline solutions.AlkaliCompared with: Some metal hydroxides are bases but not alkalis because they dissolve poorly in water.Copper(II) hydroxideRelated: In sufficiently concentrated alkali, copper(II) hydroxide can form soluble hydroxo complexes.Beryllium hydroxideNarrower topic: Beryllium hydroxide displays both roles, dissolving in acids and in strong bases.Zinc hydroxideNarrower topic: Zinc hydroxide displays amphoterism by reacting with both acids and strong bases.Base anhydrideCompared with: This dual behavior complicates the simple basic-versus-acidic classification of oxides.
