Answer:

A neutral solution is neutral if it has the same concentration of hydrogen ions as the hydroxide ions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen ions have a positive charge [H+] while Hydroxide ions have a negative charge [OH-]. Given that a solution has equal amounts of both Hydrogen and Hydroxide ions, the charges cancel each other out resulting in a neutral solution.
