A BASE is a metal oxide.
A soluble base is an ALKALI and contains hydroxide ions. (-OH)
Sodium oxide (Na2O) is a BASE
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is an ALKALI.
The alkali comes about because the sodium oxide dissolved in water to form the alkali.
Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH .

Sodium hydroxide potassium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide all produce hydroxide ions in water and are therefore?
bases
What constituent is common to all bases?
actually the answer is just Hydroxide (OH-1). All bases contains OH as it is written in their chemical formula
What substance produces hydroxide ions in solution?
All bases, or proton receivers. The definition of a base is that it either introduces hydroxide ions into solution because hydroxide ions are part of the compound, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or that it takes a proton (Hydrogen cation) away from water in solution, therefore forming a hydroxide ion from it (H2O ---> OH- ion)
Is it right all Arrhenius bases are Brownsted Lowry bases?
Yes, because all Arrhenius bases contain OH- ions which accept the proton.
Weak acids and weak bases?
Weak acids only partially ionize to give hydrogen ions (H+) weak bases only partially ionize to give hydroxide ions (OH-)
How are all bases chemically the same?
Because all bases have same characteristics and they reacts the same.
What ion produce in base solution?
All acids contain a hydrogen ion, H+. All bases contain a hydroxide ion, OH-
What ion do all bases have in solution?
All bases have hydroxide ions in solution. They are named as OH- ions.
Sodium hydroxide potassium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide all produce hydroxide ions in water and are therefore?
bases
What ion is most common among all bases?
hydroxide ions.
What constituent is common to all bases?

All acids and bases contain what that causes them to conduct electricity?
ions

Is it right all Arrhenius bases are Brownsted Lowry bases?
Yes, because all Arrhenius bases contain OH- ions which accept the proton.
Difference between acids and bases?
It's all about hydrogen ions (H+). Acids release them into an aqueous solution, whereas bases consume them, by releasing hydroxide ions (OH-) which combine with hydrogen ions to form water. That's why acidity is measured by pH, meaning potential Hydrogen.
Weak acids and weak bases?
Weak acids only partially ionize to give hydrogen ions (H+) weak bases only partially ionize to give hydroxide ions (OH-)
Ammonia is a weak base because it produces ions in solution?
All bases produce hydroxide ions in solution. A weak base only partially ionizes in solution. Another way of putting it is that weak bases have incomplete protonation.
