Some metals react with alkalis; for example the reaction of aluminium with sodium hydroxide is:2 Al + 2 NaOH + 2 H2O = 2 NaAlO2 + 3 H2
All alkalis have in common the ability to dissolve in water to produce hydroxide ions (OH⁻), resulting in a basic solution. They are typically the hydroxides of alkali metals (like sodium and potassium) and alkaline earth metals (like calcium). Alkalis also have a slippery feel, can turn red litmus paper blue, and react with acids to form salts and water. Additionally, they are characterized by a high pH value, usually above 7.
Yes, alkalis can react with metals to form metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas. The reaction typically involves the alkali breaking down the metal's oxide layer to generate hydrogen gas and a metal hydroxide.
Metals are found in group-1 and 2. Group-1 are called alkalis and group-2 are called alkaline earth metals.

something bases which can dissolve in water
strongest bases are the hydroxides of alkali metals and alkaline metals.

Yes, most oven cleaners contain alkalis such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. These alkalis help to break down and dissolve grease and grime in ovens effectively.

Such metals are Sodium and Potassium (and all the alkali metals).
Alkalis and metals do not usually react.
when bases are placed in water, the bases release hydroxyl ions.
Alkalis (bases) typically dissolve in water to form alkaline solutions. This process involves the alkali ions dissociating in water to produce hydroxide ions, which increase the pH of the solution. Examples of alkalis that dissolve in water include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).
Metals are not acids or alkalis. Metals are elements that tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions, forming positive ions. Acids and alkalis are types of substances that can donate or accept protons in solution, respectively.
all metals on the periodic table don't dissolve obviously and the part on the right labelled non metals do dissolve
