Answer;

  • rubidium
  • arsenic
  • silicon
  • antimony

Step-by-step explanation;

Bases are substances that react with acids and neutralize them. They are usually metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal carbonates or metal hydrogen carbonates.

Therefore; Bases are usually:

  • metal oxides, such as copper oxide
  • metal hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide, or
  • metal carbonates, such as calcium carbonate

Many bases are insoluble - they do not dissolve in water. However, if a base does dissolve in water, we also call it an alkali.
