      Hi IntergalacticGalaxy,

      Thanks for your question!

      An alkaline substance has multiple characteristics:

      • Its pH is above 7;
      • It reacts on the red test strip, which then becomes blue;
      • It often conducts electricity.

      It is the opposite of an acidic substance.

      Don't hesistate to reach us again if needed:)
