Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solution is neutral because Sodium has a valency of +1 and Chlorine has a valency of -1 which means when they form a bond it is neutral.
e.g. 1 - 1 = 0
Therefore, NaCl solution is neutral.
If you are referring to it being neutral in terms of pH, it is because the Na+ and Cl- ions are pH neutral.
In acid base terms NaCl is the salt of a strong acid (hydrochloric acid HCl) and a strong base (NaOH).

NaCl solution base or acid?
Sodium chloride is a salt; the water solution is neutral.
What is the pH of NACL solution?
NaCl is neutral so it will produce a solution with a pH of 7 in any concentration.
Does NaCl change the pH of a buffer solution?
The water solution of sodium chloride is neutral.
Is NaCl is an alkaline sol?
Sodium chloride has a neutral water solution.
On the pH scale NaCl and H2O are what?
Sodium chloride solution is neutral.
Is NaCl a cation?
NaCl is neutral because sodium has a valency of +1 and chlorine has a valency of -1, meaning that when they form a bond the solution is neither positive or negative. Hence, 1 -1 = 0 In addition, NaCl is known as a neutralization solution and it is assumed by many as being a neutral solution.
What are the charges in the ion NaCl?
The water solution of sodium chloride is neutral; the solid NaCl is neutral. After dissociation are formed the cation Na+ and the anion Cl-.
What is the pH of 0.01M NaCl?
The water solution of sodium chloride is neutral.
Why NaCl showed the greatest change in pH?
The water solution of sodium chloride is neutral.
What is the ion affecting pH in NaCl plus H2O?
The sodium chloride water solution is neutral.
Is NaCl (aq) an acidic neutral or basic solution?
A strange question, as not /every/ strong acid and strong base will form an NaCl solution. Was the real question maybe: "Which strong acid with which strong base can form an NaCl solution?" (which sounds a lot like a chemistry quiz question...) to which the answer would be: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) with equimolar amounts of Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) (both naturally as aqueous solutions) will form an aqueous solution of NaCl: HCl + NaOH --> H+ + Cl- + Na+ + OH- --> H2O + Na+ + Cl-
PH level of sodium chloride?
the pH level of sodium chloride (NaCl) is 7.
