Definition :
A salt consists of the positive ion (cation) of a base and the negative ion (anion) of an acid. The reaction between an acid and a base is called a neutralization reaction. The term salt is also used to refer specifically to common table salt, or sodium chloride.
Examples:
1) Soium chloride
2) Sodium sulphate
3) Sodium Bicarbonate
4) calcium Chloride
How salt is obtained :
It is formed by the interaction of sodium and chlorine ions in the water. Sea water has large quantities of salts dissolved in them. This salt is widely used in food and other purposes. Salt from sea water is obtained by the process of evaporation.
