Do-you-know facts
Chemicals can be acidic, neutral or basic depending on how many hydrogen ions they have.
Hydrogen ions are really just protons, a small particle that has a positive charge.
Scientists can find out whether a chemical is acidic, neutral or basic by testing its pH.
They use a special paper, called litmus paper, to do the pH test.
