Question

why are saltes neutral​

Answer 1

Answer:

Types of Salts

Normal salts are electrically neutral. They are formed when acids and bases neutralize, and these salts don't have replaceable hydrogen or hydroxyl in their formula. Metallic ions replace the hydrogen ions completely.

Answer 2

Answer:

Salts are generally electrovalent compounds, made of a metal and a non-metal (usually, a halogen). Since, metals are electropositive and halogens are electronegative, the formal charges cancel each other out, and the net charge on the compound becomes zero.

For example,

Common salt (NaCl) :

Here, Na has an oxidation state of +1 while Cl has an oxidation state of -1. Both these charges cancel each other, forming a electrically neutral molecule, of NaCl.
