Question

What is salt?

Answer 1

Can you give a little more detail?

Answer 2

Sodium Chloride......(NaCl) Not exactly sure what your asking.

Answer 3

Salts are ionic compounds that result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. They are composed of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions).
For example,

NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → H2O (l) + NaCl (aq)

NaCl would be considered a salt (and ironically its common name is table salt).
