Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Neutral chemicals do not change colour when exposed to litmus paper. This is because these chemicals are neither acidic nor basic. Examples are salt, ammonium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium carbonates, sodium bicarbonates, and so on. Since the number of positive hydrogen ions is created equal to the number of negative hydroxide ions, pure water is neutral and does not change the colour of the litmus.
