Most alkalis contain hydroxide ions (OH⁻) as their primary particle. These ions are responsible for the basic properties of alkalis, which typically include substances like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH). The presence of hydroxide ions allows alkalis to neutralize acids and conduct electricity in solution.
Most compounds that are ionically bonded exhibit high melting and boiling points due to the strong electrostatic forces between the oppositely charged ions. They are typically soluble in water and other polar solvents, allowing them to dissociate into ions. Additionally, these compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water or molten, as the free-moving ions facilitate electrical conductivity. However, in their solid state, ionic compounds do not conduct electricity due to the fixed positions of the ions in the crystal lattice.
Almost all molten covalent compounds are much worseconductors than almost any molten ionic compounds. However, note that some ionic compounds contain covalently bonded polyatomic ions, and many of these can conduct electricity as well as most other ions in a melt.
living things are most likely to contain organic compounds
In aqueous solutions, most bases contain hydroxide ions (OH-) as the active ingredient. These hydroxide ions are responsible for the basic properties of the solution, such as their ability to accept protons (H+) from acids.
Compounds that contain mostly carbon and hydrogen.The basic building blocks of life which are carbon compounds which are more abundant than most elements on earth.

Well it depends on what kind of acid you're talking about. Most people think of acids as hydrogen donating compounds and that is indeed one type of acid. It fits under the Bronsted-Lowry definition of an acid and under the Arrhenius definition (which says that acids are compounds that dissociate in water into hydrogen ions etc.). However, under the Lewis definition, an acid is anything that can accept an electron pair and it doesn't have to contain hydrogen.
Carbon.
Compounds such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) would produce a basic solution when dissolved in water. These compounds are strong bases that dissociate into hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution, increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions and resulting in a basic pH.
