In chemical terms basifying can also be termed as base. A base is most commonly thought of as a substance that can accept protons. Bases can be thought of chemical opposite of acids. A reaction between an acid and base is called as neutralization. Bases and acids are seen as opposites because the effect of an acid is to increase the concentration in water, where as bases reduce this concentration. Bases react with acids to produce acids and salts.
