A salt is formed when an acid reacts with a base in the process of neutralization. This causes the positively charged hydrogen ion of the acid compound to be replaced by a metal ion. The product is a neutral compound with a related number of positive and negative ions.
Acids generally have the leading hydrogen. Bases generally have the trailing hydroxide. Salts are generally formed from neutralization reactions.
Not always.
A substance which ionizes to form H+ (H+ is a product).acid
A substance that accepts (reacts with) H+.base
ACIDS
a substance with particular chemical properties including turning litmus red, neutralizing alkalis, and dissolving some metals; typically, a corrosive or sour-tasting liquid of this kind.
BASES
bases are substances that, in aqueous solution, are slippery to the touch, taste astringent, change the color of indicators (e.g., turn red litmus paper blue), react with acids to form salts, promote certain chemical reactions (base catalysis), accept protons from any proton donor
SALTS
a salt is a neutral compound composed of cations bound to anions. In general, these salts are ionic compounds which form crystals. They are often soluble in water, where the two ions separate.

3. salt --Salt is a neutral substance whose aqueous solution does not affect litmus.
