Robert Boyle's book on acids and alkalis, "The Sceptical Chymist," was important because it questioned traditional alchemical theories and laid the foundation for modern chemistry. Boyle proposed the idea that matter was made up of atoms and introduced the concept of chemical elements as distinct substances. His work helped to shift the focus of chemistry from mystical beliefs to empirical observations and experimentation.

Acids and alkalis with a high pH (1 or 2 for acids and 14 or 15 for alkalis) can be dangerous, like hydrochloric acid which can cause damage to the skin if contact with the acid is made. Acids and alkalis with a low pH (5 for acids and 11 for alkalis) aren't dangerous, as vinegar is an acid with that pH and toothpaste is an alkali.
