Amphiprotic is not the same as nuetral. An amphiprotic substance is one which has the characteristics of both an acid and a base, and can act as either depending on which other substance it is placed with. A neutral substance is unreactive.

Is HNO3 amphiprotic?
It is not amphotetic.It a very stron acid.
Is nitric and neutral the same thing?
No, nitric and neutral are not the same thing.
Is Water a neutral or amphoteric oxide?
Water is an amphoteric oxide of hydrogen. More specifically, it is an amphiprotic molecule, having the ability to accept a proton when it reacts with an acid: H2O + HCl → H3O+ + Cl- or to donate a proton when it reacts with a base: H2O + NH3 → NH4+ + OH-
WHAT color do you get when a neutral substance is mixed with litmus?
It's purple the colour can change slightly. isn't that just great purple it's my favourite colour ya know
Is an ion the same as a Neutral atom?
Ions have positive or negative charges. A neutral atom would have a charge of zero. So, no, they are not the same.

Is H2O amphiprotic?
it means that water can act as a base or an acid.

What is a solution considered to be is it has an equal number of H and OH- ions?
neutral
What does an atom do to get neutral?
In an neutral atom, the number of protons and the electrons are the same
What a neutral object is?
a neutral object is an object that has the same amount of positives as negatives
What substance has the same number of protons and electrons?
All neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons as they are electrically neutral.
Is an atom that has the same number of protons as neutrons a neutral atom?
False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
What must always be the same in a neutral atom?
To have a neutral atom, the atom must have the same amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons inside of it.

How much acid in neutral acid?
If a substance is said to be neutral, the same compound cannot be acidic.
