Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, the hydroxonium ions, H3O+ are responsible for the acidity of a solution and the hydroxide ions, OH- are responsible for the basicity of a solution.

In an acid solution;

The concentration of the hydroxonium ions is greater than that of the hydroxide ions.

In a basic solution;

The concentration of the hydroxide ions is greater than that of the hydroxonium ions.
