All inorganic salts are composed of a metal ion (or an ammonium ion) and an acid radical ion. Table salt for example is composed of a sodium ion and a chlorine ion (the radical ion of hydrochloric acid).
Organic salts (called esters) may or may not contain a metal ion. Organic salts that do not contain a metal ion, its role is taken by an alkaloid radical ion.
Salts are usually ionic compounds of a metal and a non-metal. There could be any element in a salt. The most common salt is NaCl, that is, Sodium Chloride. It contains Sodium and Chlorine.
Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine are all Group 17 elements that can combine with a metal to form a salt.
Gold is considered a 'noble' metal. This is because it will not easily combine with other elements
Zinc, aluminum, and iron are examples of metal elements that produce hydrogen gas when they react with hydrochloric acid. This reaction occurs because the metal displaces hydrogen from the acid, forming metal chloride and hydrogen gas as products.
Partially, since sodium is technically a metal.
In case of common salt, chlorine and sodium. In case of any other salt, a metal and a non-metal.
Table salt is sodium chloride, NaCl.
The halogen chlorine and the reactive metal sodium are in table salt.
Compound; there are many types of salts and a salt by definition is a compound formed by replacing hydrogen in an acid by a metal (or a radical that acts like a metal). Table salt however is sodium chloride.
Sodium. Halite, or rock salt, is the mineral form of sodium chloride. Of the two elements, sodium is a metal.
Also, possible you think to an alloy.
Pretty much any Group 1(Alkali metals) and Group 2(Alkaline Earth Metal) will form a salt when bonded with a nonmetal(right hand side of periodic table). Some transition metals also make salts.
