percentage hydrogen, normally used to refer to the acidity/alkalinity of a solution, the pH scale is a log scale.

pH actually came from the term "potence hydrogen." Anyone who gives you another answer about what pH stands for is misinformed. Do a web search with this term and you will find several respectable scientific sites that will tell you the same thing.

pH
stands for POTENTIAL HYDROGEN or POWER OF HYDROGEN
to know how acid or alkali is a solution

“Potential of Hydrogen.” this is what pH stands for

the proper way to write it is pH The p stands for the negative logarithm of the H+ ion content. H+ is the measure of the acidity.

The "p" in "pH" is lowercase.
It comes from the Latin "pondus hydrogenii". In English, this is literally Hydrogen Power or Hydrogen Potential. It is a measure of the concentration H3O+ of in solution chemistry.

P stands for Power which means the logarithm of a number in base 10. H stands for hydrogen. we also have POH, PKa (for acids) PKb(for bases), and PKsp(for hardly solvable substances)

per hydrogen. How many Hydrogen ions you have in a solution determines the acidity or alkalinity of that solution.
