The chemistry definition of a salt is the chemical combination of a metal and a nonmetal.
Common language calls table salt, NaCl, salt.
There are many salts. People on low sodium diets use Losalt or Nusalt which is KCl.
An acid and base reaction also produces a salt.
Road salt is CaCl2., not all salts are chlorides, there are bromides, nitrates, sulfates, etc.

table salt is basically sodium chloride (NaCl), but a common thing to do is put NaI or KI into it so that people get an intake of iodine (and don't get goitre). There is also lots of other trace elements, and these are higher in sea salt. Lo-Salt is KCl, or has a high pottasium content, the saltyness comes from the Chloride ion, but the taste does differ.
