Unless, if you consider that going from pH 1 to pH2, for example, is going less acidic. Therefore, by definition, it is becoming more alkaline. Although most, if not all, chemists would be loathe to think of it in those terms until the pH was larger than 7.
Neutral pH IS 7. Not 7.35 or anything else. Biologists, as they are wont to do, will try to tell you otherwise. Don't believe them. Neutral pH is defined mathematically as 7. Above is alkaline, below is acidic. Disbelieve me at your peril, particularly if you are due to sit a GCSE or A level.
