  • An indicator is a substance that changes its color in acidic and basic medium.

  • An indicator shows one color in an acidic medium and different colors in a basic medium so that they are called indicators.

  • There are different types of indicators: Indicators derived from natural sources are called natural indicators.

Hope it helps you!!
