the higher the number the more acidic the element is... the lower the more of a base the element is

Okay thanks!

your welcome anytime...

hm no, a high pH would be the result of a strong base, not an acid. Acids have pH<7. The more corrosive the acid is, the lower it's pH. This is because there is a high \([H^+]\) present at low pH's.
