Answer:
Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl), a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of salts; salt in its natural form as a crystalline mineral is known as rock salt or halite.
One of the ions has a positive charge (called a cation) and the other has a negative charge (termed anion). Salt is an ionic compound, consisting of a crystal, lattice structure of the two ions Na+ and Cl-. Salt water is full of sodium chloride molecules.

Answer:
Salts are ionic in nature due to the presence of ions. They are brittle, hard and crystalline solids. Salt is white, odorless and it has a salty taste. All potassium (K), ammonium (NH4+) and sodium (Na) salts are soluble in water (H2O).
