Answer:

These substances are called amphiprotic. Water, amino acids, hydrogen carbonate ions, and hydrogen sulfate ions are common examples.

Explanation:

A substance is amphoteric (from Greek amphoteros = "each of two") if it can act as an acid or a base.

For example, aluminum hydroxide is amphoteric because it can act as a base and neutralize strong acids.
