| Neutralisation |
|
| The acidic property of an acid is due to the presence of hydrogen ions (H+) while that of a base or alkali, is due to the presence of hydroxyl (OH-) ions in them. When an acid and base (alkali) combine, the positively charged hydrogen ion of the acid combines with the negatively charged hydroxyl ion of the base to form a molecule of water. Hence, the water molecule formed does not have any charge because the positive and negative charges of the hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions get neutralized. |

| Neutralization is a reaction in which an acid combines with a base, neutralizing the positively charged hydrogen ion and the negatively charged hydroxyl ion, forming a molecule of water and the respective salt. |
