An alkaline solution.
sodium hydroxide is soluble becauce it is an alkali metal
Metal oxide + Water --> Metal hydroxide
A basic solution
If you mean a basic solution that has a metal in its formula, it is usually just _ hydroxide. Example: Ca(OH)2 is a basic solution and its name is CALCIUM hydroxide (calcium is the metal). Mg(OH)2 -> Magnesium hydroxide etc.
Lithium Sulfate (Li2SO4) is, indeed, SOLUBLE because the anion (SO4 2-) is soluble in an aqueous solution. Likewise, the Lithium cation (Li +) is soluble because it is located in the 1A family (or group), which consists of the Alkali Earth Metals, which are all soluble in an aqueous solution. Therefore, Lithium Sulfate is SOLUBLE.
sodium hydroxide is soluble becauce it is an alkali metal
The hydroxide of Lithium is most soluble but all the hydroxides of alkali metals are completely soluble in water.
Beryllium metal is soluble in hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc.
Metal oxide + Water --> Metal hydroxide
Calcium hydroxide and hydrogen.
the solution becomes basic
Lithium hydroxide is soluble in water.

This is typical behavior of soluble salts: metal cations (+) and nonmetal anions (-)
