The answer is yes. Because it is not made naturally. It is made by two different chemical mixtures bonding together.

It is actually a transition metal so it is neither an alkali metal nor an alkaline earth metal.

What material are carburetors made of?

There are three main materials of which carburetors are made: cast iron, zinc and aluminum. Starting in the 30's, cast iron started to be replaced by zinc and in the late 50's, aluminum replaced a lot (but not all) zinc.In most cases, cast iron is finished in black oxidethough it's sometimes painted black. Carter recommended a special black carburetor paint when rebuilding a carb. Thus, while carbs like the W-1 Carter were originally black oxide finished cast iron, many of them are now - correctly - a semi-gloss black.Rochester carbs also used cast iron in the throttle body section. This part was always black oxide and there was no factory paint recommendation.The most well-known carburetor material is olive-green colored zinc. Zinc itself is a bright silvery metal that reacts with air and water to make a powdery white material often called 'white rust' . To prevent this, carburetor parts are treated in the factory with a chromic acid solution, which forms a thin layer of 'zinc chromate' on the surface of the metal. This very effectively protects the metal underneath from being damaged by water or air. This is why carburetors are usually green!

What element can replace iron in a compound during a single replacement?

Any metal element higher in the electromotive series than iron can replace iron in a compound during a single replacement. Metals higher in the electromotive series than iron include all the alkali and alkaline earth metals along with others such as aluminum and zinc.

Why zink oxide is called amphoteric oxide?

An amphoteric metal oxide is the oxide of a metal that can form either simple metal cations or oxyanions, depending on reaction conditions. If zinc oxide is reacted with a stong acid, a simple zinc salt including the anion of the reacting acid will form. In contrast, if zinc oxide is reacted with a strong alkali, a zincate salt containing the anion ZnO2-2 along with the cation of the strong alkali will result.
