Neutral Substances

  • Neutral substances are neither acidic nor basic in nature. They are chemically balanced and have a pH value of 7.
  • Examples include pure water, sugar solution, and common salt solution.
  • Neutral substances do not alter the color of litmus paper because they do not have an excess of hydrogen (H+) or hydroxide (OH-) ions.
