The element that forms amphoteric oxide among the options provided is Zinc (B). Amphoteric oxides can react with both acids and bases, and zinc oxide is a classic example of this behavior.

What is an Amphoteric Oxide?

An amphoteric oxide is a type of oxide that can act as either an acid or a base. This means it can react with both acidic and basic substances.

Examples of Amphoteric Oxides

  • Zinc Oxide (ZnO)
  • Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3)
  • Lead Oxide (PbO)

Why Zinc?

Zinc oxide is amphoteric because it can react with acids to form zinc salts and with bases to form zincates. This dual reactivity is what classifies it as amphoteric.
