Respuesta :
The closer to 7.00 a substance measures on the pH scale, the _more neutral_ the compound.
7.00 is the pH of water, which has exactly 1 acid unit (H+) and 1 base unit (OH-). Those neutralize each other to be neither acidic, nor basic.

Answer:
more neutral
Explanation:
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.
Thus,
pH = - log [H⁺]
pH scale generally runs from 1 to 14 where pH = 7 represents neutral medium, pH < 7 represents acidic medium and pH > 7 represents basic medium.
Thus, the closer the value of pH closer to 7, the more neutral is the compound.
