Okay...

Firstly pH scale means power of hydrogen

it ranges from a scale of 1 to 14.

pH 1 being the most acidic, pH 7 being neutral and pH 14 being the most alkaline.

Acids
- turns Blue Litmus Paper RED
-strong acids turn Universal Indicator Red
-Weak acids turn Universal Indicator orange or yellow

Bases
-usually metal oxides or metal hydroxides


Yup, I guess that's all that I know. Can you please tell me what I have excluded? Thank you very much.
