True or False: Amphoretic is a lightening agent.

The statement that "Amphoretic is a lightening agent" is false because amphoretic refers to a type of substance or compound that exhibits both acidic and basic properties, which is not related to its ability to lighten or alter the color of another substance. A lightening agent, on the other hand, specifically refers to a chemical that is used to lighten hair color or skin tone. While certain lightening agents can have acidic or basic characteristics, referring to a compound as amphoretic does not inherently imply that it has lightening capabilities. Therefore, labeling it as a lightening agent is incorrect.
