Chemical hydroxides are very basic salts. As metal salts, they are usually very insoluble, but alkali hydroxides are very soluble, inexpensive bases.
Properties
Chemical
Hydroxides are usually basic, and can be neutralized by acids (releasing the salt and water).
Physical
Alkali hydroxides are very soluble and very basic, while other hydroxides are usually only slightly basic and insoluble.
