Protons. As in protons, How many. On a weird logarithmic scale with 7 in the middle, of course.
The p is for potential, as in potential Hydrogen. pH can be used to establish a concentration of protium (H+) in solution. When learning about pH in school, we used pOH (potential hydroxide) as well to speak about bases.
