What determines if a solution is neutral is the ions present in solution. Something can be acidic, basic, or neutral. A typical acidic solution has H+ present in solution. An example of this is hydrochloric acid (HCl), which is a very strong acid. A typical basic solution has hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution. An example of this is NaOH. A neutral solution has ions that exhibit no acid/base properties. One of these is sodium chloride (NaCl). Group 1 ions do not exhibit any acid base properties, such as Na+. The conjugate bases of strong acids and the conjugate acids of strong bases also do not exhibit acid and base qualities. Cl- is the conjugate base of the strong acid HCl. There for a solution of NaCl is neutral or a pH of 7. So what determines if a solution is neutral are the ions present in solution. Group 1 ions are always neutral. Some other ions that are always neutral are Cl-, I-, Br-, and SO42- . These are all conjugate bases of strong acids.
