A salt is an ionic compound that results from the neutralisation reaction of an acid and a base. Salts are composed of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) in a fixed proportion so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge).
Salts do not have ${OH}^{-}$ ions or $H^{+}$ ions. So, accordingly ${Na}_2{SO}_4$ and ${CH}_{3}COONa$ are salts.
