Salt is a chemical compound that consists of ionic composition of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions, resulting in a substance with no net electric charge.
Example of salts:
$NaCl$ - Sodium chloride
$KCl$ - Potassium chloride
${CaCl}_{2}$ - Calcium chloride
${NaHSO}_{4}$ - Sodium bisulfate
${CuSO}_{4}$ - Copper sulfate
${MgSO}_{4}$ - Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt)
$KI$ - Potassium iodide
${KMnO}_{4}$ - Potassium permanganate
${CH}_{3} COONa$ - Sodium acetate
${({CH}_{3} COO)}_{2} Ca$ - Calcium acetate
