An acid has more hydrogen than is needed to be stable, so it wants to give a hydrogen to whatever it comes into contact with.
A base is lacking a final hydrogen so would like to receive a hydrogen from what it comes into contact with,
so if you mix an acid (with a low pH power of Hydrogen) to a base (with a high pH) you should have a more nuetral solution

Well basicly an acid has H+ ions in it and a base has OH- (oxygen hydrogen ion) in it

an acid is a substance that produced hydrogen ions when the dissolve in water....a base is an ionic compound that dissociates into a metal ion and hydroxide ions when they dissolve in water

It is the measure of Ph....base on the level of hydrogen

Acids are proton donators, bases are proton acceptors
