[H_2O] → [H^+] + [OH^1] where $p H = - \log \left[{H}^{+}\right]$,
The neutral point, where $\left[{H}^{+}\right] = \left[O {H}^{1}\right]$ is 7. Anything lower means that there are more $\left[{H}^{+}\right]$ than $\left[O {H}^{1}\right]$ ions, so the solution is acidic. Anything lower means that there are more $\left[O {H}^{1}\right]$ than $\left[{H}^{+}\right]$ ions, so the solution is basic.
