Lye
Lye, also known as sodium hydroxide, is alkaline. It has a high pH level, typically around 13, making it a strong base. Lye is commonly used in soap making and cleaning products due to its alkaline properties.
An example of an alkaline substance is baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). It is commonly used in baking and cleaning products due to its alkaline properties.
Bleach is alkaline in nature. It is a basic solution with a high pH level, typically around 11-13.
Magnesium belongs to the family of alkaline earth metals in the periodic table. It exhibits physical properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, low density, and strong alkaline reactivity.
All alkaline earth metals loss two electrons.
Lime itself is alkaline - it has a high pH level. When referring to the fruit, "lime", released juices can be acidic, but the lime still has alkaline properties.
Sodium is an alkaline metal. In its pure form, it does not exhibit acidic properties.
The term "alkaline" refers to a substance that has a high pH level above 7. These substances are also known as bases, and they have the ability to neutralize acids. Alkaline substances are commonly found in cleaning products and some foods.
The term refers to properties of a base.
Alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals form their oxides when burnt. These oxides are base.
Calcium is classified as an alkaline earth metal because it belongs to group 2 of the periodic table, which is known as the alkaline earth metals group. These metals have similar properties, such as being reactive and forming alkaline solutions when they react with water. Calcium specifically is known for its low density, high reactivity, and tendency to form alkaline compounds.
