Salt (chemistry)
In chemistry, a salt is a chemical compound consisting of an ionic assembly of positively charged cations as well as negatively charged anions, which results in a compound with no net electric charge. A common example is table salt, with positively charged sodium ions in addition to negatively charged chloride ions.
The component ions in a salt compound can be either inorganic, such(a) as chloride Cl−, or organic, such(a) as acetate CO. regarded and subjected separately. ion can be either monatomic, such(a) as fluoride F−, or polyatomic, such(a) as sulfate .
