Substances that are not acidic or alkaline are neutral in their pH. Lots of substances exhibit a slight variance from a pH of 7, which is neutral. We don't notice many of them because they aren't far from neutral.

Which is stronger a strong alkali or acid?
Strong acids are strongly acidic. Strong alkalies are strongly alkaline. And both strong acids and strong alkalies are equally corrosive, though I would say that strong acids and more dangerous to handle than strong alkali.
Why are bases sometimes describes as the opposite of acids?
Bases are the opposite of acids due to the fact they are a hydrogen ion acceptor and an acid is a hydrogen ion donor. In the many definitions of bases and acids, bases do the opposite of what acids do. -- In the Lewis definition, acids are electron pair acceptors while bases are electron pair donors. -- In the Bronsted-Lowry definition, acids are substances that donate protons while bases are substances that accepts protons. -- In practicality, acids lower the pH of a solution and bases increase the pH of a solution.
What is the use of acids and alkalis for stings and bites?
Stings mostly contain HCOOH , so to neutraliize the acid, Alkalies are used
Are all substances that contain hydrogen acids?

Are all substances either acidic or basic?
No. Many substances will act as neither acids nor basic. There are also amphoteric substances, which can act as both acids and bases depending on the circumstances.
What is the pH of alkalies?
Alkalies are basic substances (pH under 7).

Are acids and alkalis the same?
No, acids and alkalies are absolutely different. Acid is an electron gainer, while alkali is an electron donor.
