About Neutral Substances
: All [[substance]]s with a [[pH]] of '''7''' are '''neutral'''.
: '''Neutral''' [[substance]]s are not as [[corrosive]] as [[acid]]s and [[base]]s.
: [[Salt]]s and [[water]] a are '''neutral''' [[substance]]s which are formed during [[neutralisation]] [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]].
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''neutral''' [[substance]] is one which does not form any free [[Hydrogen Ion(Chemistry)|Hydrogen ions]] or [[Hydroxide Ion(Chemistry)|Hydroxide ions]] when in [[solution]] producing a [[solution]] of [[pH]] 7.
===About Neutral Substances===
: All [[substance]]s with a [[pH]] of '''7''' are '''neutral'''.
: [[Salt]]s are '''neutral''' [[substance]]s because they do not contain any [[Hydrogen Ion(Chemistry)|H<sup>+</sup>]] or [[Hydroxide Ion(Chemistry)|OH<sup>-</sup>]] parts to the [[compound]].: A '''neutral''' [[solution]] is one which contains an equal [[concentration]] of [[Hydrogen Ion (Chemistry)|H<sup>+</sup> ions]] and [[Hydroxide Ion (Chemistry)|OH<sup>-</sup> ions]].
