In chemistry, a salt is any neutral chemical compound made of cations (positive ions) bound to anions (negative ions). The main type of salt is sodium chloride.
Solutions of salts in water are called electrolytes. Electrolytes, as well as molten salts, conduct electricity.
Salts can melt ice.
A salt can also be defined as an ionic compound which dissociates forming a positive ion other than hydrogen ion and a negative ion other than hydroxyl ion is called a salt.
