    For example, vanadium oxide (VO2) is an amphoteric oxide, dissolving in acid to give the blue vanadyl ion, [VO]2+, and in base to yield the yellow-brown hypovanadate ion, [V4O9]2−. Amphoterism among the main group oxides is primarily found with the metalloidal elements or their close neighbours.
