Any water-soluble base can also be called an alkali....hence alkaline solution. Basic is also perfectly acceptable although that has a broader meaning.

An alkali. The term base covers all metallic (and ammonium) hydroxides and oxides but to be an alkali the base has to be able to dissolve. The correct definitions are: A base is a compound which will react with an acid to produca a salt and water ONLY. An alkali is a water soluble base.
Only alkalis produce hydroxide ions (as the only negative ion) in solution.

Hi >
An aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide turned my hair blonde.
I am normally black. It was for doing kids face painting at the village fair, as a clown. I am now half black & blonde.
So as for the ions in hydroxide, that is what they do.
Bob.

How about: aqueous solution of hydroxide ions?

When NaOH is added to water, it ionize completely to form Na+ and OH- ions. OH- is the ion that give rise to an alkali solution (pH >7.0).

The only term to describe such a solution is "Basic", as in its effect on the pH in the solution.
