Hey Guys,
Something I've wondered since I completed GCSE. I have always said that a given chemical was "very acidic", for instance, whereas I often hear people (including, on occasion, my ex-teacher) say it's "very acid".
Could somebody clarify as to whether acidic is the correct adjective form, whether I am incorrect, or if both forms can be used. I thought for a while this might just be a grammatical quirk which exists in Chemistry, but curiosity has gotten the better of me.
Thanks in advance for any insight that any Hexus chemists or linguistic-types can give.![]()
