The metal itself, no. But after reacting with water or something containing water it produces a very strong base.

Compare and contrast the preparation of a salt from an alkali and a base?

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.


Why akali metals is active base than alkaline metals from their solubility's in water?

the solubility of alkali metal bases is more than the solubility of alkaline metal bases. thus the reaction: base=metal ion + OH- occus faster. since the more the OH ions the stronger the base, alkali metal bases are stronger than alkaline metal bases

What alkali does bleach contain?

An alkali is a soluble base. Therefore, alkaline solutions are sources of hydroxide ions, OH- . A base is a proton acceptor, so the alkaline solution will neutralise an acid.


Is metal oxide an alkali?

Metal oxide is the ionic bond combination of any metal element of the periodic table of elements with oxygen. The alkali metals and alkali earth metals are respectively the first and second columns of elements found on the periodic table. Thus, alkali metal oxides and earth metal oxides are types of metal oxides, but metal oxide does not imply alkali.


What is the Difference between a bases and 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"
