Question

wat's the chemical definition of salt

Answer 1

NaCl - sodium chloride

Answer 2

the chemical definition of salt is Sodium Chloride, its chemical formula is NaCl, this is a sodium molecule ionically bonded to a chlorine one. The sodium gives the chlorine an extra electron which allows both atoms to have a full outer shell, the molecule is then held together by charges as each atom becomes charged. The Sodium becomes positively charged and the Chlorine becomes negatively charged, because opposite charges attract this keeps the compund together.

Answer 3

If you mean the chemical formula for table salt it is NaCl - Sodium Chloride.

If you mean the definition of a salt in general. This is from Wikipedia:

A salt, in chemistry, is any ionic compound composed of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is neutral (without a net charge). These component ions can be inorganic (Cl−) as well as organic (CH3COO−) and monoatomic ions(F−) as well as polyatomic ions (SO42−); they are formed when acids and bases react.

There are several varieties of salts: Normal salts are those that do not contain a hydroxide ion (OH−) or a hydrogen ion (H+). Salts that contain a hydroxide ion are basic salts and salts that contain a hydrogen ion are acid salts. Impure salts is a name for salts which have lost their saltiness, and can also refer to natrons. Zwitterions are salts that contain an anionic center and a cationic center in the same molecule; examples include amino acids, many metabolites, peptides and proteins.

When salts are dissolved in water, they are called electrolytes, and are able to conduct electricity, a property that is shared with molten salts. Mixtures of many different ions in solution—like in the cytoplasm of cells, in blood, urine, plant saps and mineral waters— usually do not form defined salts after evaporation of the water. Therefore, their salt content is given for the respective ions.

Salts can be dehydrating to the human body if consumed in excess.

Answer 4

Sodium Chloride is the Name of the Salt Compound

THe Compound symbol is NaCl: Meaning it contains one sodium atom for every chlorine atom.

Thus, Salt.

Answer 6

NACL-Sodium Chloride

Answer 7

During neutralization the products are salt and water. (acid + base --> salt + water) Salt is basically an ionic compound - formed of a cation and an anion. Salts can be neutral, acidic, or basic.

Answer 8

a salt is a metalic atom bonded to a nonmetalic atom with an ionic bond. table salt is the most common example, which is NaCl

Answer 9

NaCl
2

Answer 10

The product of an acid & a basw. Table salt is NaCl. Na is a base, Cl an acid.
