 Amphoteric Oxides & Hydroxides
1) Definition of Amphoteric oxides and hydroxides

2) Chemical Reactions of Amphoteric oxides and

hydroxides.

3) Classification of oxides.

Amphoteric Oxides and Hydroxides

An amphoteric oxide or hydroxide can react with both acids and strong alkalis to from a salt and water.

The oxides and hydroxides of aluminium, zinc and lead are amphoteric.

Examples:

Amphoteric Oxides and Hydroxides

Classification of Oxides
Oxides can be classified into four groups:

1) Acidic oxides

Acidic oxides are oxides of some non-metals which react with alkalis to form a salt and water.

Examples include: I. carbon dioxide (CO2)

II. sulfur dioxide (SO2)
III. sulfur trioxide (SO3)
IV. nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
V. silicon dioxide (SiO2)

Most acidic oxides also react with water to form an acid, i.e. they are acid anhydrides.
 Classification of Oxides
Oxides can be classified into four groups:

2) Basic oxides

Basic oxides are oxides of metals which react with acids to form a salt and water.
Examples include: I. magnesium oxide (MgO)
II. iron(III) oxide, (Fe2O3)
III. copper(II) oxide (CuO)

Potassium oxide (K2O), sodium oxide (Na2O) and calcium oxide (CaO) are basic oxides which are
also classified as alkalis because they react with water to form a solution containing OH− ions.

Classification of Oxides
3) Amphoteric oxides

Amphoteric oxides are oxides of some metals which react with both acids and strong alkalis to form a

salt and water. Three common amphoteric oxides include: I. aluminium oxide (Al2O3)

II. zinc oxide (ZnO)

III. lead(II) oxide (PbO)

4) Neutral oxides

Neutral oxides are oxides of some non-metals which do not react with acids or alkalis.

Three common amphoteric oxides include: I. carbon monoxide (CO)

II. nitrogen monoxide (NO)

III. Dinitrogen monoxide (N2O).
