Answer» OH Bases and alkalies: All bases are not alkalies. Water-soluble bases are called alkalies. NaOH and KOH are alkalies. But even though Al(OH)3 and Cu(OH). are based, they are not considered as alkalies as they are not soluble in water. Metallic oxides are generally basic in nature. But a few of them have both acidic as well as basic character. Such oxides are called amphoteric oxides. Example Al,O3 , ZnO They can react with acids as well as bases. |
