pH above 7 ---> basic, and the higher the pH goes, the more basic the solution becomes, which also means its less basic
pH below 7 ---> acidic, and the lower the pH goes, the more acidic and less basic the solution becomes

pH = -log(hydrogen ion concentration), and the higher the hydrogen ion concentration gets, the lower the pH becomes

conversely, the higher hydroxide ion concentration there is, the lower the hydrogen ion concentration is    10^(-14) = [hydroxide ion concentration][hydrogen ion concentration]
