yes, but not all salts are binary ionic compounds
True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.
True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a cation from a metallic element and an anion from a nonmetallic element.
No, metals are not compounds. They are elements or mixtures (alloys) containing metallic elements.
I don't think there's an alternative name for them. An individual one is named by putting the metal first, then the non-metal with its ending changed to -ide. Examples: sodium and chlorine make sodium chloride. Magnesium and nitrogen make magnesium nitride.
A binary covalent compound is one that contains two substances joined by covalent bonds. For example, two nonmetals often join together to form covalent compounds. So, P2O5 (phosphorus pentoxide) is a binary covalent compound. H2O (dihydrogen monoxide) is another one. This is in contrast to binary ionic compounds, which are salts, and are formed by a metal combining with a nonmetal with ionic bonds.

Salts are ionic compounds.
A "salt" is another name for ionic compounds
Ionic hydrides are called salt-like as salts are ionic. They are high melting and have crystal structures typical of ionic compounds. Hydrides are not straightforward salts, salts typically dissolve in water for instance, whereas hydrides react vigorously with water rather than dissolving in it.
ionic compounds
Salts are ionic compounds that are formed by neutrlization of an acid & a base.
Salts are ionic compounds.
Because ionic salts are polar compounds as water, the solvent.
Yes.
- salts are ionic compounds - salts are products of neutralization reactions
Yes, but there are also trinary (and may be quaternary) ionic salts like alum: KAl(SO4)2 potassium-aluminum sulfate
