All alkalis have a bitter taste, turn red litmus paper blue, are good conductors of electricity, have pH values more than 7 and react with ammonium compounds to form ammonia gas.

they also react with acids to form salt and water only.

some common examples in our daily life cleaning products, detergents, soaps, toothpaste and etc.

Alkaloids are a group of naturally-occurring compounds that contain mostly nitrogen atoms. These compounds are usually alkaline in nature (as opposed to acidic.)
