Bases are substances that will restore the blue color of litmus after it has been exposed to an acid. They are electrical conductors and neutralize acids. Bases also feel slippery, because they neutralize the fatty acids of the skin, reducing friction.
Honestly that depends on which definition of "Base" you are using. There are three accepted kinds. Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis.
An Arrhenius Base is any substance that when added to water increases the number of OH- particles.
A Lewis Base is any chemical that donates a pair of electrons in an acid base reaction.
A Bronstead-Lowry Base is any chemical able to accept a proton in an acid base reaction.
However that being said here are 5 common characteristics of all bases
Soapy feel on hands.
Strong bases are caustic and react violently with strong acids.
Conduct electricity when melted or in an aqueous solution.
pH levels are of 7.5 or higher
Are bitter tasting.
1. accept a H+
2. taste bitter
3. feel slippery
4. change colour of an acid- base indicator
5. can be strong or weak electrolytes in an aqueous solution
yes alkali and base have same properties
A base tastes bitter, feels slippery, and turns red litmus paper blue.
Neither, there are no associated properties.
Acid and base when mixed in equal concentration neutralize each other.So if the water has both in equal concentration the water will not show the properties of the acid or the base.if any one i.e. acid or base is higher in concentration than the other the water will show its properties.
If an acid and a base completely neutralize each other, their corrosive properties will be nullified and the resulting solution would not be corrosive at all.

A base has a higher pH than water.
The term refers to properties of a base.
You look at the properties of the elements around it and base your guess of off that.
A base gas is a gas similar to ammonia which has basic properties.
It's a base solution, not acidic since it has base properties. It also shows beautiful physical appearances as forms of art.
These corrosive properties disappear.
They are both 4 sided quadrilaterals but a trapezoid has different properties than an isosceles trapezoid which has 2 equal base angles.
Base
Whether or not it's an acid or a base
