Yes, bases are ionic compounds composed of metal cations and hydroxide anions. When dissolved in water, they dissociate to release hydroxide ions, which can react with acids to form water and a salt. Common examples of bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂).

Are alkalies ionic or covalent?

If you just mean compounds that are alkaline (basic), they can be either. Sodium carbonate and potassium hydroxide are ionic bases, while ammonia and phosphine are covalent bases.


Are ionic compounds metal?

Ionic compounds are typically made up of a metal cation and a non-metal anion. The metal cation provides the positive charge, while the non-metal anion provides the negative charge. So, while not all ionic compounds contain a metal, they often do.
