Best Answer

The pH value is an indication of the acidity/alkalinity of a solution. More precisely, the pH value is a representation of the concentration of hydrogen cations (hydronium ions) in a solution.

Can pH be a negative number?

Yes, if the concentration of hydrogen ions is above 1 M, then pH will be negative. An example is Sulfuric acid, which can get a proton concentration up to 18 M which would be a pH of -1.3.
