7 is considered neutral. Anything below that is acidic and anything above that is basic. 1 being the most acidic and 14 being the most basic. I think most people would consider something "acidic" until it is about 5pH or anything "basic" until about 9pH. However, saying something that is 6.9pH is slightly acidic is technically correct.

pH 0 < acidic < pH 7 neutral = pH 7 pH 7 < basic < pH 14
1 thru 14 1-6 are acids 7 neutral 8-17 basic
No, pH 5.5 is considered acidic on the pH scale, which ranges from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most alkaline or basic). A neutral pH is 7.
A pH of 7.7 is slightly basic. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Values below 7 indicate acidity, while values above 7 indicate alkalinity. Therefore, a pH of 7.7 is just above neutral, making it mildly basic.
The ranges of pH are 1-14 below 7 is acidic, 7 is neutral, and anything higher than 7 is basic or a base.
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. 0 is Acidic, 7 is neutral, and 14 Alkaline or Basic. ie. pure water is neutral, coke is somewhat Acidic, Ammonia used in house cleaners is Alkaline.
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 such that something with a pH of 0 is extremely acidic and something with a pH of 14 is extremely basic. A neutral pH is in the middle and has a pH of 7. An example of something with a pH of 7 is rain water.
A pH of 10 is considered basic or alkaline. It means that the solution is less acidic and more basic on the pH scale, which ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral.
Hydrolysis occurs when water breaks apart a salt into its constituent ions, leading to an acidic, basic, or neutral solution. If the cation is a weak acid or the anion is a weak base, the solution will be acidic or basic, respectively. If both the cation and anion are strong acids or bases, the solution will be neutral.
neutral substances are natural in nature whereas basic substances are basic .
It is neutral.
A pH of 7 is neutral, indicating a balance between acidic and basic properties. It is neither acidic (pH<7) nor basic (pH>7). This means that the solution is neither predominantly acid nor predominantly basic, but rather in a state of equilibrium.
