Arrhenius bases produce OH- ions by definition when dissolved in water. A Bronsted - Lowry base can produce OH- ions, but only has to produce a proton accepting group by definition. A Lewis base is defined as an electron donating group, which hydroxide ion is. So, basic compounds do produce OH- ions when dissolved in water, but not in all cases.
Compounds such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) would produce a basic solution when dissolved in water. These compounds are strong bases that dissociate into hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution, increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions and resulting in a basic pH.
Ionic compounds are made up of positive and negative ions. When these compounds are dissolved in water, the ions separate and dissociate. Fluoride is a negatively charged ion that can be found in some ionic compounds like sodium fluoride (NaF). When these compounds are dissolved in water, fluoride ions are released, resulting in the presence of fluoride in the water.
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a basic substance because it is an alkaline compound. When dissolved in water, it will produce a slightly basic solution.
Any other compounds dissolved in water may be properly called a "solute", and when the compounds are ionic they may also be called "electrolytes."
Ionic compounds, such as salts, are better conductors of electricity when dissolved in water. This is because they dissociate into ions in solution, allowing for the flow of electric current. Covalent compounds, on the other hand, do not dissociate into ions and are not good conductors of electricity when dissolved in water.
Many salts are also ionic compounds.

The water is called solvent, the compounds to be dissolved are solutes
Excepting beryllium, the others mentioned elements produce basic solutions when are dissolved in water.

Chlorine gas dissolves in water to form hydrochloric acid (HCl), not a basic solution. When dissolved in water, chlorine gas reacts with water to produce hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid, which is a weak acid. This reaction contributes to the acidic nature of the solution, rather than making it basic.
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a basic substance because it is an alkaline compound. When dissolved in water, it will produce a slightly basic solution.
Ammonia gas when dissolved in water produce Ammonium hydroxide so its solution is basic.
Most metal hydroxides and oxides e.g. K2O and KOH

Solubles are compounds able to be dissolved in water.
