Neutral solution: pH =7
Acidic solution: pH<7.
Basic solution: pH>7.
Sodium Hydroxide is basic.

Adding an alkali to an acid solution would result in forming a salt. However, no acid solution can be neutral.
A solution may be acidic basic or neutral.

Sodium citrate solution is basic.
Basic - Above 7 Acidic - Below 7 Neutral = 7
KCN is a neutral solid salt (poison) but its aqueous solution is slightly basic.
The solution could be neutral, acidic or basic depending on the concentration or the volume of the acid or alkali used.
A basic pH is higher than an acidic or neutral pH.
KBrO3 is potassium bromate which is made from KOH (potassium hydroxide) and bromic acid (HBrO3). The salt will have an alkaline (basic) pH >7 when dissolved in water.
