The botanical name of the mango is Mangifera indica. It is a species of flowering plant in the sumac and poison ivy family, Anacardiaceae. Mangoes are widely cultivated for their edible fruit and are native to South Asia but are now grown in many parts of the world.

An amphoteric oxide is a type of oxide that can act as both an acid and a base. This means it can react with both acids and bases, either accepting or donating protons (H⁺ ions) depending on the pH of the solution. Amphoteric oxides exhibit this dual behavior because they have both acidic and basic properties. Aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) and zinc oxide (ZnO) are examples of common amphoteric oxides.
