Slightly basic. The pH scale goes from 0(ish) to 14(ish) and 7 is neutral. Below 7 is acidic, above 7 is basic. Therefore, a substance with the pH of 8 would be slightly basic.

What are the items with pH of 7?
The pH scale goes from 0 to 14, where 0 is a strongly acidic solution and 14 is a strongly basic or alkaline solution. Therefore, a substance with a pH of 7 would be neither basic nor acidic. A example of a substance with these properties happens to be the earth's most abundant liquid; water.

In science terms what does slightly basic mean?
"Slightly basic" refers to the pH of the substance being described. A neutral substance has an equal number of H+ and OH- ions, whereas acids have most H+ and bases have more OH-. A slightly basic substance probably has a pH between 8 and 9, since neutral is 7. The lower the pH (1-6) indicates the substance is acidic. A pH of 8 through 14 indicates basic substance.

Difference between pH of 4 and pH of 10?
The pH scale ranges from 0-14 pH. A substance that has a pH of 7 is considered to be "neutral," like pure water. A substance that has a pH less than 7 is said to be acidic, and a substance that has a pH greater than 7 is said to be basic. Therefore, the difference between those two pH levels is that the 4 pH substance is more acidic and the 10 pH substance is more basic. The more basic or acidic, the more caustic and/or corrosive the substance will be.
What is the pH of a substance?
The pH is the negative log of the concentration of hydronium ions. (pH=-log [H3O+]) If the pH is high, the substance is basic. If it is low the substance is acidic. When the pH is exactly 7 the substance is neutral.
Why is there a pH scale?
The reason for a pH scale it to tell how basic or acidic a substance, or substance byproduct is.
