I think it's because the covalent bonds are strong, and therefore unreactive to acids & alkalis.
You'd need to get alkanes in gas form to make it react, but you'd still need energy for it to react, like, say, heat perhaps?
They neutralize each other to form salt and water.
When acids and alkalis are mixed, the pH of the solution changes. Indicators such as litmus paper will change color based on the new pH. Acids turn blue litmus paper red, while alkalis turn red litmus paper blue.
Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water, while alkalis are substances that release hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. Acids have a pH less than 7, while alkalis have a pH greater than 7. They are chemical opposites and neutralize each other when mixed together.
The colors of litmus is different; this depends on the pH.
Alkalis are corrosive and can cause burns to skin and eyes upon contact. Inhaling or ingesting alkalis can also be harmful, leading to respiratory or digestive irritation. It is important to handle alkalis with care to avoid potential accidents and injuries.

The process is called saponification, with which you make soap.

Depends on the acids you're mixing the copper with!

Acids reacting with bases form salts. Salts may soluble in acids.
Acids and alkalis react to form water and a salt compound in a neutralization reaction. The hydrogen ions from the acid combine with the hydroxide ions from the alkali to form water, while the remaining ions combine to form a salt. The resulting solution will be closer to neutral on the pH scale.
When acids are mixed with water, they form hydrogen ions (H+). This is because acids donate protons to water molecules, resulting in the release of H+ ions.
Wet cement can be caustic, meaning it can cause irritation or burning to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon contact. However, it is not considered corrosive in the traditional sense, like acids or alkalis that cause damage through chemical reactions with surfaces.
Food gets mixed with strong acids in the stomach. The main acid in the stomach is hydrochloric acid, which helps break down food into smaller particles to aid in digestion.
