Bases are substances that react with acids and neutralize them. They are usually metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal carbonates or metal hydrogen carbonates. Many bases are insoluble - they do not dissolve in water.If a base does dissolve in water, we call it an alkali.

What is a compound that measures above 7 on the pH scale?
A Base or an Alkali. An Alkali is a soluble base.
What is the difference between a base and an alkali?
Alkali is a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal element. Alkalis are best known for being bases that dissolve in water. (Most common form is hydroxide.)A base is most commonly thought of as an aqueous substance that can accept H+ ions.A soluble base is also often referred to as an alkali if hydroxide ions (OH−) are involved."All alkali are bases but not all bases are alkali"

Why is copper oxide a base but not an alkali?
Copper oxide is unsoluble in water. A requirement for an alkali is: a soluble base. So copper oxide is a base but not an alkali.
Is zinc hydroxide a base or alkali?
An alkali is a soluble base, and zinc hydroxide is insoluble, so it is a base.
