pH: It is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is and is calculated using the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration.
Acidic Solution: A solution with a high concentration of hydrogen ions, resulting in low pH values.
Basic Solution: A solution with a low concentration of hydrogen ions, resulting in high pH values.
