### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Amphoteric Oxides**: Amphoteric oxides are oxides that can react with both acids and bases. This means they can exhibit both acidic and basic properties. 2. **Characteristics of Amphoteric Oxides**: When amphoteric oxides react with acids, they typically form a salt and water. Similarly, when they react with bases, they also form a salt and water. 3. **Examples of Amphoteric Oxides**: - **Aluminum Oxide (Al₂O₃)**: This oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form aluminum chloride and with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form sodium aluminate. ...
