Re: Amphoteric Compounds
to answer the first part of your question, an amphoteric compound is a compound that can act as both an bronsted acid and base, so donate and accept a proton. this can be seen in hco3-. it has a hydrogen it can donate (acts as an acid) and a - charge that indicated it can accept a proton.
