Why water generally has a neutral pH even though water molecules dissociate?
The number of cations and anions is identical.
Both strong acids and strong bases are highly corrosive?
They both dissociate virtually 100% in water.
What kind of bond do hydrogen and clorine make?
Though they dissociate into ions in an aqueou solution, a bond between hydrogen and chlorine is covalent.
What is an acid that does not dissociate 100 percent of its ions?
Theoritically, there exists no acid that can fully dissociate into ions in aqueous medium. Though, for practical purposes, it is often assumed that strong acids such as nitric acid, hydrochloric acid etc. are fully dissociated. Other than these few strong acids, all other acids partially dissociate, a common example is acetic acid.
Polar molecules behave as though they?
Polar molecules have charges that non-polar molecules do not have. It is the reason why non-polar molecules can move through the lipid bilayer quicker than the polar molecules.

Is a element a molecules?
Molecules are not elements. Elements make up molecules, though.

Why can gamma rays ionise atoms even though they have no mass?
This phenomenon is known as Photo electri emission. Though radiations such as Gamma, X ray, ultraviolet and even visible light are not having massive particles, they are able to eject electrons right from the neutral atoms or molecules.
Why is it that a charged object can attract a second object even if that object is neutral?
An object can have a net charge of zero, but also have sections that are charged, as long as those charges algebraically add up to zero, for example, a charge of +1 is balanced by a charge of -1 in a different location. So a charged object can be attracted to a particular part of a neutral object. This is a common phenomenon in molecular chemistry. Water molecules attract other water molecules in this manner, because they have positive and negative poles, even though the water molecule itself is neutral.
Polar molecules behave as though they?
Polar molecules have charges that non-polar molecules do not have. It is the reason why non-polar molecules can move through the lipid bilayer quicker than the polar molecules.
Are non metal oxides acids or bases?
Metallic oxides are basic because they dissociate to form the hydroxyl ions while the non-metallic oxides are acidic because they dissociate to form hydrogen ions.
Molecules move into and out of a cell though the?
Cell Membrane
What is a neutral solution?
A neutral solution can refer to many things, though I assume you mean in terms of pH. Neutral solutions have a pH of 7. Pure water has this pH value.
Is Na2HPO4 acidic or basic salt or normal salt?
i don't , it seem be an acid NaH2PO4, Sodium dihydrogen phosphate, is an acid. The two hydrogen atoms can dissociate and lower the ph of a solution. That is to make it more acidic. Once all the hydrogen atoms that can dissociate have been replaced by sodium Na. the formula will look like this Na3PO4, at that point it would be called a 'salt' with a neutral ph.
