Summary Introduction
Introduction: The pH is defined as the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration. It measures the concentration of H+ ions in the body. The pH of a substance is either categorized into acidic, basic, or neutral. The acidic substances have a pH less than 7, basic substances have a pH more than 7, and the neutral substances have a pH around or near 7.
