Metal oxides which react with both acids as well as bases to produce salts and water are known as amphoteric oxides. Many metals (such as zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and beryllium) form amphoteric oxides or hydroxides. Aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3) is an example of an amphoteric oxide.
The oxide (PtO 2) is amphoteric, with acidic properties predominating; it can be fused with alkali hydroxides (MOH; M = Na, K) or calcium oxide (CaO) to give anionic platinates, such as red Na 2 PtO 3 and green K 2 PtO 3. The hydrated oxide can be dissolved in hydrochloric acid to give the hexachlormetallate(IV), H 2 PtCl 6. [20]
A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.
Metalloids are metallic-looking, often brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical elemental nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are often brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides. Most or ...
In each case, scandium is a byproduct of the extraction of other elements and is sold as scandium oxide. [29] [30] [31] To produce metallic scandium, the oxide is converted to scandium fluoride and then reduced with metallic calcium. [32] Sc 2 O 3 + 6HF → 2ScF 3 + 3H 2 O; 2ScF 3 + 3Ca → 3CaF 2 + 2Sc
Each block is named after its characteristic orbital: s-block, p-block, d-block, f-block and g-block. The block names (s, p, d, and f) are derived from the spectroscopic notation for the value of an electron's azimuthal quantum number: sharp (0), principal (1), diffuse (2), and fundamental (3). Succeeding notations proceed in alphabetical order ...

Aluminates are often formulated as a combination of basic oxide and aluminium oxide, for example the formula of anhydrous sodium aluminate NaAlO 2 would be shown as Na 2 O·Al 2 O 3. A number of aluminate oxyanions are known: The simplest is the approximately tetrahedral AlO 5− 4 found in the compound Na 5 AlO 4, [2] framework AlO −
