Answer 2

Sodium hydroxide is not a neutral substance.

Therefore, the correct option of the asked question is Option (b)

Explanation:

Reason for correct option: Sodium hydroxide is not a neutral substance because it is basic in nature. When we dip litmus paper in the solution of sodium hydroxide, the red litmus paper turns into blue. Thus, it can be confirmed that sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is basic. Hence, it is not neutral.

Reason for incorrect options: Option (a), (c) and (d) are incorrect choice because glucose, urea and sugar are neutral substances. These are neither basic not acidic in nature and hence are considered as neutral substances.

These substances does not even donate ions like base or accepts electrons as acid and hence are neutral substances.

Some other examples of neutral substances includes: water, cooking oil, table salt, etc.
