Is all metal oxide ( except those of group 1 ) insoluble in water?
The oxides of all Group I metals react with water to give soluble metal hydroxides.
Li2O(s) + H2O(l) → 2Li(OH)2(aq)
Na2O(s) + H2O(l) → 2Na(OH)2(aq)
K2O(s) + H2O(l) → 2K(OH)2(aq)
Rb2O(s) + H2O(l) → 2Rb(OH)2(aq)
Cs2O(s) + H2O(l) → 2Cs(OH)2(aq)
The oxides of some Group II metals (Ca, Sr and Ba)react with water to give soluble metal hydroxides, but the solubility of the metal hydroxides are not high.
CaO(s) + H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(s)
SrO(s) + H2O(l) → Sr(OH)2(s)
BaO(s) + H2O(l) → Ba(OH)2(s)
The oxides of metals in other groups are insoluble in water.

when aluminium oxide is added to excess sodium hydroxide, what will be formed?
Alumnium oxide is an amphoteric oxide, which dissolves in both dilute strong acids and dilute strong alkalis. Metal oxide dissolves in excess sodium hydroxide solution to form a colourless solution of sodium aluminate.
Al2O3(s) + 3H2O(l) + 2NaOH(aq) → 2Na[Al(OH)4](aq)
or Al2O3(s) + 3H2O(l) + 2OH-(aq) → 2[Al(OH)4]-(aq)
