Answer
(a) Amphoteric oxides and hydroxides are those compounds which react with both acids and alkalis to form salt and water.
(b) Balanced equations for the reaction of Zinc Oxide and Lead Oxide with Caustic Soda are given below:
ZnO + 2NaOH ⟶ Na2ZnO2 + H2O
PbO + 2NaOH ⟶ Na2PbO2 + H2O
(c) Sodium zincate [Na2ZnO2] and sodium plumbite [Na2PbO2] are the products formed.
