Lye commonly refers to sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and has previously been used to designate potassium hydroxide (KOH). In any case, it is alkaline (ie basic), the opposite of acidic. Acids can donate protons in solution, while bases can accept such protons. This makes both substances corrosive. Mixing an acid and a base will produce salt water, as can be seen in a simple baking soda-vinegar reaction. Baking soda is alkaline like lye, but lye is much stronger.
