A salt is formed when a cation (positive ion) of an acid forms a compound with the anion (negative ion) of a base. The neutralization of a strong acid and a strong base results in a solution with a pH of 7 (neutral pH).
A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid and a base (usually both are in aqueous solutions) react to form water and a salt, which do not exhibit any of the acid or base properties.
