Dear Student,

Amphoteric nature of a compound means that it acts as an acid (in
presence of a base) as well as a base (in presence of an acid)
Now, find below the reactions that prove the Amphoteric nature of
Be(OH)2:

Reaction with a Base:

BeOH2 + OH- →  BeOH42-

Reaction with an Acid:

BeOH2 + 2HCl →  BeCl2 + 2H2O

These reactions proves the Amphoteric nature of
Be(OH)2

Hope this information clears your doubts about the topic

Keep asking!!
