In what regard? You need heat in order to heat fix the bacterial cells to the slide. This adheres cells to the slide. Otherwise, the bacterial cells would wash off the slide during the Gram staining process.

If you leave the slide in the Bunsen burner too long, then you can distort the bacterial cell shape and size and also have other artifacts appear on the slide that are not bacterial cells.

What is a neutralzation reaction?

A neutralization reaction occurs between an acid and a base. As you may know, acids have a pH between 0 and 7, neutral substances have a pH of 7, and bases have a pH between 7 and 14. In a neutralization reaction, the pH's of the reactants are such the product(s) has/ have a pH of 7.
