An amphoteric compound is a molecule or ion that can react both as an acid as well as a base. Many metals (such as copper, zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and beryllium) form amphoteric oxides or hydroxides.
In acid: Al2O3?+6HCl ? 2AlCl3?+3H2?O
In base: Al2O3?+2NaOH+3H2O ? 2Na[Al(OH)4?]
Hence, Al2?O3?? is an amphoteric oxide.
