Figure 1: The pH scale from strongly acidic (0) to strongly alkaline (14)
This diagram covers The pH Scale within Acids and Alkalis for GCSE Chemistry. Revise Acids and Alkalis in Chemical Changes for GCSE Chemistry with 25 exam-style questions and 21 flashcards. This topic appears less often, but it can still be a useful differentiator on mixed-topic papers. It is section 3 of 12 in this topic. Focus on the labels, the relationships between parts, and the explanation that turns the diagram into an exam-ready answer.
