The reaction has to be carried out at neutral conditions because in acid the chromate indicator concentration decreases due to the reaction with the H+ ions, forming HCrO4-. It cannot be in too basic of a solution (greater than 10.5) because then silver hydroxide will form before the silver chromate can form.
When pH is lower than 7, chromic ion gets protonated and chromic acid is predominant in the solution. Consequently, if the pH is above 7, chromate ion concentration is too low to form precipitate with silver ions at the end point. If the pH is above 10, brownish silver hydroxide is formed masking the end point. hence a neutral medium must be maintained
what requirements must be satisfied for a reaction to be used in titration
to get rough volume....
To determine the pKa of glycine, a formal titration must be performed. This is done by titrating a cationic alcohol with an anionic carboxyl.

1- done only in neutral medium. 2- all the cations which give insolublld be chromate must be absent or removed before titration. 3-titration of Ag+ with Cl- is not feasible. 4- not suitable for I- and SCN-

I want to assmue the the readers of this answer have know the details theory and calculations about Mohr method if not u can refer to Any analytical text for reference. Well, Bromide and Chloride can not be determine simultaneously in a sample using Mohr method , the reason be that the indicator use for each of them is different. and there will be problem in the procedure if ones try to determine both simultaneously. To determine Chloride Ion, Ammonium or Potassium Thiocynate is used as indicator and the sample must be neutral or slightly acidic. while Eosin indicator is use for the determination of Bromide Ion and the same neutral solution is prefer for this purpose, the solution must be adjusted to neutral either by adding small amount of Nitric acid or by adding small amount of carbonate as the case maybe. But, in the determination of each of them Silver Nitrate is use for the titration of both and this is the similarity they shared and the experimental procedure is quite the same. Olajire Mojeed

A neutral atom must contain an equal number of electrons because it is a neutral atom.
It is not mandatory; acids are also titrated.

The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge
The atom must have equal number of proton and electron to neutral.
Neutral must never be cut off.
