The correct option is D Statement 1 is not correct but Statement 2 is correct
Option D is the correct answer.
Statement 1 is not correct, because an acidic solution has more hydrogen ions than a basic solution. More the concentration of $H^{+}$ ions, more is the acid strength of the solution.
Statement 2 is correct. pH is defined as the -log ${[H]}^{+}$ . An acidic solution has a pH range from 0 to 7.
