Amphoretic Compound Identification

Postby Wesley Greene » Thu Dec 07, 2023 5:44 pm

Is identifying that a compound has positive and negative charge enough to identify that it is amphoteric. Are there any other qualifications?

Other than a positive and negative charge, an amphoteric compound must have the ability to react with acids and bases. Further, they must have the groups necessary to accept or donate an electron, such as OH or H.
