The oxide is normally a fine, white powder, not silver.
Also, Aluminium is not normally counted as one of the transition elements because, being on the second row of the periodic table, it exhibits none of the chemistry typical of the "d" block elements.
It is an amphoteric oxide because it shows both acidic and basic properties.
