Neutralization reactions are the reactions type which form salts.
Explanation:
Salts are formed by ionic bonds when the oxidation states of anions and cations are equal and have opposite signs. So one should be highly electronegative in nature and another should be highly electropositive in nature. So the electropositive element will be ready to give electrons and the electronegative element will be ready to accept all the electrons given by the electropositive element. As a whole the compound will be neutrally charged by adding of equal number of positively charged and negatively charged ions.
The reduction or addition of electrons will be occurring in cations and the oxidation or removal of electrons will be occurring in anions.
So the salt formation is based on neutralization reactions.
