Solution

Amphoteric oxides are oxides that can act as both acid and base. In the given list, the amphoteric oxides are:

  1. ZnO (Zinc Oxide): It can react with both acids and bases to form salts, thus showing amphoteric behavior.

  2. Cr2O3 (Chromium(III) Oxide): It also shows amphoteric behavior as it can react with both acids and bases.

  3. PbO2 (Lead(IV) Oxide): It is also an amphoteric oxide.

  4. SnO (Tin(II) Oxide): It is amphoteric in nature.

  5. GeO (Germanium(II) Oxide): It is also an amphoteric oxide.

So, there are 5 oxides in the given list that are amphoteric in nature.
