Theophrastus Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 A rather simple question, but I'm hoping for some follow- up if an answer is given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanntrude Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 not really, no.if it was you'd expect it to form a positive and a negative ion. You might be able to get copper 1- ions if you put it with cesium (gold does that), but i'd hardly say it's amphoteric. it might have amphoteric oxides though...

toastywombel Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Actually Cu(OH)2 is mildly amphoteric! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper(II)_hydroxide. But not regular Cu. http://webpages.charter.net/dawill/tmoranwms/Chem_Cu.html Check out these this link too, if you scroll down to the section there is discussion about sodium curprate solutions which are more amphoteric than carbonate!
