Elemental hydrogen gas, H2, is neutral. Although hydrogen is the main factor in determining if a substance is a base or an acid; Acids have H+ ions and depending on how many there are determines th strength of them. Bases on the other hand base them selves around OH-(hydroxyl) ions and once again the more of these ions present the stronger the substance basicity is.

Is hydrogen acidic in water?
No. Hydrogen gas is neither acidic nor basic. It is the hydrogen ion that contributes to acidity.
What should be hydrogen ion concentration of a solution having pH 11 state whether it is acidic or basic?
The hydrogen ion concentration having a PH of 11 is acidic.
What is the difference between acidic and basic solution working with redox reaction?
An acidic solution contains H+ ions, a basic solution contains OH- ions.
Why metallic oxides are basic and non metallic oxides are acidic?
Metallic oxides are basic because they dissociate to form the hydroxyl ions while the non-metallic oxides are acidic because they dissociate to form hydrogen ions.
Is nh4clo4 basic or acidic?
acidic acidic acidic
Is hydrogen acidic in water?

Is phosphoric acid basic or acidic when the hydrogen ions dissociates?
Acidic.
Is hydrogen acidic basic or neutral in pure state?
Hydrogen in its pure state is H2 gas, which is neutral. The ionic form, H+, is acidic.
What should be hydrogen ion concentration of a solution having pH 11 state whether it is acidic or basic?
The hydrogen ion concentration having a PH of 11 is acidic.
Is hydrogen a basic acid?
No, the word 'basic' denotes having base like properties as opposed to acidic properties.
What makes a compound a basic?
a compound that is basic (a base) has hydroxide in it (OH-) a compound that is acidic (an acid) has hydrogen in it (H+) :)
Do basic solutions react with active metals to produce hydrogen gas?
just acidic solutions
When the pH is high the concentrations of hydrogen ions is?
pH refers to hydrogen parts the lower the hydrogen parts the more acidic a substance is the higher adversely relates to how alkaline or basic a substance is it is scaled from 1-14 i being the most acidic 14 being the most basic when the pH is high, then the concentration of Hydrogen(H+) ions is low
Is Potassium hydrogen phthalate di-basic?
No, it is monobasic acid because one of the two acidic hydrogen is already displaced by potassium ion.
Is hydrogen acidic?
No. Hydrogen, H2, is neutral. H+ ions are acidic.
Low pH means that the hydrogen-ion concentration is?
pH refers to hydrogen parts the lower the hydrogen parts the more acidic a substance is the higher adversely relates to how alkaline or basic a substance is it is scaled from 1-14 i being the most acidic 14 being the most basic when the pH is high, then the concentration of Hydrogen(H+) ions is low
What is the difference between acidic and basic solution working with redox reaction?
An acidic solution contains H+ ions, a basic solution contains OH- ions.
