If the concentration of hydrogen ions is greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution, the substance is defined as acidic, and vice versa for basic. In the ethanol molecule, the hydroxyl group cannot be ionized, so ethanol exists in a molecular state in water and is neither acidic nor basic, but neutral.
