basicity
High pH quality
Basicity is a chemistry term for the degree to which a substance acts as a base—its capacity to accept protons or donate electron pairs.
A compound with high basicity reacts readily with acids.
The term also describes the number of hydrogen atoms in an acid that can be replaced by a base: Sulfuric acid has a basicity of two.
