Answer:

A basic solution has a pH between 7 (less basic) and 14 (most basic).

Step-by-step explanation:

A base, in chemistry, refers to a chemical substance or a species which can accept proton, release hydroxide ion or donates electrons in aqueous medium.

On a pH scale, a basic solution has a pH of greater than 7 at standard conditions. The pH of a basic solution ranges from 7 to 14. A solution with pH of 7 is the least basic and pH 14 is the most basic in nature.
