Question

how to define salt,base and acid by chemical formula?(only for genius)

Answer 1

H + nonmetal = acid
metal + OH = base
acid + base = salt

Answer 2

A salt is an ionic compound that can be formed by the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base.[1] Salts are composed of related numbers of cations (positivelycharged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge). These component ions can beinorganic, such as chloride (Cl−), or organic, such as acetate (CH
3CO−
2); and can bemonatomic, such as fluoride (F−), orpolyatomic, such as sulfate (SO2−
4).
