Answer:
All alkalis are bases but not all bases are alkalis.
Explanation:
There is very minor difference between bases and alkali.
Bases are the metal oxide which neutralizes acid and are in-soluble in water whereas alkalis are also metal oxide but they are soluble in water and releases hydroxide ion in water.
Example of base: calcium oxide and Ferrous oxide
Example of alkali: Sodium or potassium hydroxide
So, not all the bases are alkali because all bases do not dissolve in water.
