Question

State True or False.

ZnO is amphiprotic.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

ZnO is amphoteric but not amphiprotic.
Amphoteric oxide is that which can be an acid as well as a base. Amphiprotic oxide is that which is H${}^{+}$ ion donor as well as its acceptor.
$H_{2}O+H_{2}O\to H_3{O}^{+}+O{H}^{-}$
$H_{2}O$ is an amphiprotic.
