No they do not. They have low water solubility.
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.
It isn't strictly true, but generally ionic compounds are not highly soluble in organic solvents because ionic compounds need a highly polar solvent to dissolve well (such as water) and in general organic compounds are not as polar as water. Remember, like dissolves like. However, many ionic compounds are very soluble in a variety of organic solvents, just not as much as in water.
No, carbon is not an alkali. It is a non-metal element that is commonly found in organic compounds and all living organisms. Alkalis are a subset of bases that dissolve in water to produce hydroxide ions.
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.
Substances that form ions when dissolved in water are electrolytes.

Generally, a solution of an organic compound in water will be electrically neutral. Organic compounds do not typically dissociate into ions in water like ionic compounds, so the solution will not conduct electricity unless there are ions present from other sources.

Many salts are also ionic compounds.

no,DissociationWhen ionic compounds dissolve to produce ions the process is typically called dissociation.IonizationWhen molecular compounds dissolve in water to produce ions the process is typically called ionization.
Arrhenius defined acids as compounds that ionize in water to produce hydrogen ions (H+).
Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not (though there are some exceptions). Inorganic bases are generally OH- donors, whereas organic bases are generally nitrogen base donors.
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.
