pH runs on a scale from 0 to 14. The higher the number, the more basic or alkaline a solution is. The lower the number, the more acidic it is. The pH number is a logarithmic scale that relates to the number of free hydrogen or hydroxide ions in solution.
The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The numerical value of this scale is the negative base 10 logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.
Acidity/basicity are determined by the pH measurement.
Basicity of a compound is usually determined by counting the number of basic sites (nitrogen or oxygen atoms capable of accepting a proton) present in the molecule. For amines, the basicity increases with the number of alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom. For acids, basicity is based on the ionizable hydrogen atoms present. pKa values represent the acidity of the compound, inversely related to basicity.
The acidity/basicity is measured with a pH-meter; a pH under 7 is acid and a pH over 7 is basic.
The pH of a solution is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and as such is a measure of the acidity or basicity of the solution. The letters pH stand for power of hydrogen and numerical value for pH is just the negative of the power of 10 of the molar concentration of H+ ions.
HCl is an acid, so it does not possess basicity but rather acidity. Its basicity is 0.
Measuring the pH it is possible to evaluate the basicity of a solution.
if basicity increases,fluidity decreases

The acidity or basicity of a compound is determined by its ability to donate or accept protons (H+ ions). Compounds that release protons in solution are considered acidic, while those that accept protons are considered basic. The pH scale can be used to quantitatively measure the acidity or basicity of a compound, with values below 7 indicating acidity and values above 7 indicating basicity.
I think , the basicity of sulphuric acid is 1.
If you mean on the periodic table, then Nitrogen is 'N'.
