Water is a universal neutral solvent that can dissolve most organic and inorganic compounds. Water is very neutral because of the low proton ion in the compound. Moreover, hydrogen ionizes completely despite the hydrogen bonding between the elements. Water has no effect on a litmus paper and this has tested H2O neutrality.

Naturally, water is not ionic.

It is, although, made up of the attraction between two H+, hydrogen ions, and one O(2-), oxygen ion.

In acid-base solutions, water can ionize it very small amounts of its most common ions H+ and OH- (only 1.0*10-7 mole of both ions in 55.6 mol water (=1.0 L).

If you're asking about its polarity, then no, water is polar. If you mean in the pH scale, then yes, water is neutral.

The number of positive hydrogen ions and the number of negative hydroxide ions are equal, so they cancel each other out.

Like all molecules, a water molecule (H2O) is neutral. The positive charges on its 10 protons balance out the negative charges on its 10 electrons.

false. a water molecule has one positive charge and two negative charges. but if you are referring to the pH scale, then yes, pure water is a neutral 7 on the pH scale.

Usually neutral. However, also note that water has an electric dipole, i.e., the molecule has a positive and a negative side.
