Salt is a combination of 1 Sodium & 1 chloride molecule. Also know as table salt. The chemical short name is chemistry is NaCl. Other salt can be also formed with potassium/lithium with chloride. Or for more information, just type in the word "salt" into any search engine in the internet. I'm sure you can get the answer you need.

The term salt means a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Table salt or sodium chloride has the formula NaCl. It des not have the properties of either sodium or chlorine, as it is an ionic compound with its own properties.

By definition a salt is any acid whose hydrogen atom has been replaced by that of a metal.
For example:
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the metal Sodium (Na) give the salt Sodium Chloride (NaCl)

Salt, if you mean common table salt, is Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl). If you mean salt as a general chemical term, it is a two-component compound, with one part positively charged, typically a metal such as Sodium (Na), Calcium (Ca), Cobalt (Co), or a positvely charged radical such as Ammonium (NH4) and with the second part being negatively charged, most easily looked at as what's left when hydrogen is stripped from and acid, such as Cl (Chloride), NO3 (Nitrate), SO4 (Sulfate), etc.

A project due Tuesday? And you don't even know the formula for common table salt?
Obviously you are not studying, you are not reading, you are doing everything but what you should be doing to learn chemistry.
You are dishonest and deceitful not just to others but to yourself.
I really hope you flunk your course.
We don't need a society filled with ignorant people in positions of authority who pretend they know things. That would ensure our society becomes very corrupt.

sodium and chlorine is table salt
a salt is the combination of a metal and a non metal throuh an ionic bond so any group one and two elements and any elements that are not gasses and past the "staircase" of mettaloids are salts and some transiton metals can make salts but it is less common
