7 is the neutral pH
less than 7 it will be acidic, more than 7 will be base
3 is more acidic than 6
8 is less basic than 10

each value is ten times more acidic than the value below it. For instance, if a substance has a pH of 6, that substance is ten times more acidic than a substance with a neutral pH of 7. As you go down the scale, each value is ten times more basic than the value above it, so a substance with a pH of 8 is ten times more basic than the neutral substance.

Answer:

7 represents a neutral pH in the pH scale

Step-by-step explanation:

pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0 - 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater then 7 indicates a base.
