    Explain the concept of amphoteric substances and provide an example.

    <p>Amphoteric substances can act as both acids and bases, depending on the reaction conditions. An example is water, which can donate a proton (acting as an acid) in the presence of a stronger base, or accept a proton (acting as a base) in the presence of a stronger acid.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Discuss the formation of a salt and explain why it is considered a neutral compound.

    <p>A salt is formed by the reaction between an acid and a base, where the hydrogen ion of the acid is replaced by a metal cation. Salts are considered neutral compounds because they do not affect the pH of a solution when dissolved in water.</p> Signup and view all the answers
