No, "base" and "alkaline" are related but not exactly the same. A base* is a chemical substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of electrons. Bases can be soluble or insoluble in water. An alkaline* solution is a specific type of basic solution. It refers to a base that is soluble in water and produces hydroxide ions (OH^-), resulting in a pH greater than 7. Therefore, all alkaline solutions are bases, but not all bases are alkaline (because some bases are insoluble in water).
