(a)
Interpretation:
The balance net ionic equation for the reaction of the amphoteric oxide
Concept introduction:
Non-metals forms acidic oxides and tend to form covalent hydride as they have tendency to share their valence electrons to form covalent bond. Metallic oxides are ionic in nature whereas non-metallic oxides are covalent in nature. As the charge on cation increases in oxide, the covalent nature increases due to more polarization of anion from smaller cation.
