Answer:
Some forms of copper(II) hydroxide are sold as "stabilized" copper(II) hydroxide, although they likely consist of a mixture of copper(II) carbonate and hydroxide. Cupric hydroxide is a weak base.

copper hydroxide is actually hydrated copper oxide, and it does provide some concentration of OH- ions when it is in the presence of acids (H3O+). However, it is largely insoluble in water. Therefore, copper hydroxide would not be considered an alkali, but rather a weak base.
