Alkali's are soluble bases.
Bases are the oxides of Groups (I) & (II) metal elements.
Taking
Group (I)
sodium oxide (Na2O) , this is a BASE .
It dissolved in water to for the hydroxide , an Alkali.
Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH an alkali.
However taking Group (II)
Calcium oxide (CaO), this is a BASE.
It is sparingly soluble in water to form the hydroxide , an Alkali.
CaO + H2O = Ca(OH)2 an alkali.
And acid plus an alkali produces water and a salt.

Sodium hydroxide is both an alkali and alkaline. It is classified as an alkali because it dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ions which can react with acidic substances. It is termed alkaline because it has a high pH level and can neutralize acids.
Some alkali things you might find in your house include baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), ammonia-based cleaners, drain cleaners, and some laundry detergents. These substances have a high pH level and can be corrosive if not handled properly.
Hydrogen oxide is neither an acid nor an alkali. It is water, which is a neutral substance.
Soap
example of an alkali is a soap soap helps us clean our body so it is useful for living things
No and alkali is ph 8 and up whereas and acid is ph 6 downwards. 7 is neutral. Alkali things are stuff like soap and things that contain acid are fizzy drinks etc
And acid plus an alkali produces water and a salt.
Group 1A elements are known as alkali metals. They are: # Lithium # Sodium # Potassium # Cesium etc....
they are used for metal-like things,
A salt and water
sodium (Na) is an alkali metal that is used to make table salt when ionic-ly bonded to chlorine (Cl) some other alkali metals can be found in things like fruit. potassium is found in bananas

Lithium hydroxide is the strongest alkali in the alkali metal group.
Sodium hydroxide is both an alkali and alkaline. It is classified as an alkali because it dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ions which can react with acidic substances. It is termed alkaline because it has a high pH level and can neutralize acids.
No. An alkali is a compound: the hydroxide of al alkali metal.
