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.
