Will 1 mole of HCl and 1 mole of NaOH create a buffer?

They won't. They will make water and NaCl.

But, the ph is 7.

But, the ph is 7.

Based on what?  A measurement?  A calculation?  What is the definition of a buffer?  How does it work?  How does a solution of NaCl function as a buffer?  How will the Na+ and Cl- ions react to consume H+ and OH-?

You can answer all of these questions if you try, by studying class notes, your text book or doing some of the calculations.

Don't ask each one one at a time.  You won't remember the first answer by the time you get to the last one, and you'll ask the first one again.  That's no way to learn.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

Yes, Sir. I am sorry and understand. Thank-you for the succinct explanation.

What is the buffer definition?

But, the ph is 7.

pH of pure water is 7 as well, does it make it a buffer?
