"How much" isn't incredibly specific; what exactly is the measurement?
The chemical formula for table salt (sodium chloride) is NaCl - one atom of sodium and one atom of chlorine. So if we're measuring number of atoms, there is 50% sodium and 50% chlorine in one molecule.
If we're measuring mass, that's a bit different. The mass of one mole of sodium is about 23.0 grams and the mass of one mole of chlorine is about 35.5 grams. Since both are in equal amounts, we can use percentages and it will still apply to one molecule. One mole of sodium chloride would therefore be 58.5 grams (35.5 + 23.0).
23.0 grams of that 58.5 is sodium, so 39.3% of one mole or one molecule is sodium by mass.

How much sodium in kosher salt?
Table salt and kosher salt are both 39% sodium by weight.
Is common salt an organic molecule?
No, organic molecules contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to other elements and table salt (NaCl) has no carbon in it. Table salt (Sodium Chloride) is made of the two elements of Sodium and Chlorine.
What does NaCl stand for in chemistry?
NaCl is the chemical formula for sodium chloride, often known as "table salt". "Na+" is the formula for a sodium ion; "Cl-" is the formula for a chloride ion. The charges balance to give a ratio of 1 sodium ion : 1 chloride ion per molecule of NaCl.
Is sodium nitrate table salt?

Are there positives in salt?
In chemistry any salt is the ionic combination of positively charged element or molecule with a negatively charged element/molecule. Table salt, for instance, is Na+Cl- aka sodium chloride.
What are the scientific symbols for salt?
This depends upon the salt. Common table salt is NaCl or Sodium Chloride. The molecule has an ionic bond; the sodium forms a positive ion and the chlorine forms a negative ion.
