When people say this, it's because they mean the grain of salt. Just one teeny tiny piece out of all of them. That's a solid. It's actually just like pouring a billion pieces of solids out of a can!
Why.
1. The vibration speed of the atoms tells us that it is a solid.
2. Look at it. It's not a liquid.
3. It is in chunks.
4. Building on #3, it only looks like you are pouring it as you would a glass of ____(liquid) because it is so small.
That's why.

Actually, standard table salt, or NaCl(Sodium Chloride), at room temperature is a solid. It can be melted which means it can become a liquid and release vapors which are gas. When NaCl melts the Na ions and Cl ions can separate.
This is a tricky question. Salt is indeed a Solid but I can also see the confusion as well. Salt as everyone knows is dissolvable. With that said, It can't be melted by it's self on say a kitchen stove. Make salt water, eventually it will evaporate and then your left with nothing but salt crystals. The real melting point of salt is 800°C which is 1472°F. To put it into perspective, waters boiling point is 100°C and 212°F.
To explain this further lets look at sugar for a second. You can melt sugar on a stove top with out liquid if so desired. furthermore it will harden in that liquid state in which you can melt it again and poor it. Many people consider sugar to be a liquid despite it's raw state. for example the culinary industry identifies sugar as a liquid. Sugar melts at 186°C and 366.°F.
Therefore salt doesn't act the same.
Salt is considered a solid because it is actually solid at room temperature. That is why it can be sprinkled on items like food.
Salt is a compound because it is made of only NaCl, not because it has only Sodium and Chlorine, in which case it will be mixture of the two elements.
Table salt, NaCl is a pure substance because it is a compound in which the elements are present in a definite proportion. In this case 1:1 .
Table salt (Sodium Chloride, NaCl) is a crystalline solid, but can be dissolved into water to make a saline solution (eg, the ocean or contact lens solution).
Not at room temperature. However a saturated saltwater solution will become solid at temperatures below -21.1 degrees C.
It isn't a solid. It's a liquid. The only way it can be a solid is if you freeze it. Also known as ice.
yes it is a solid because of it's shape and size not a liquid

Sodium Chloride is a solid as table salt or sea salt is Sodium Chloride.solid
This solid is called a solute.
Salt is made up of tiny solid particles to hard to melt down into a liquid or a gas. So the answer is yes, salt is always a solid. it is an ionic compound
Yes, you can pour salt but that doesn't mean it isn't a solid. Solids can also be poured! It is a solid because it has a substantial density. Hope this helped Regards Jack

Salt is a crystalline solid in its natural form.

true
When salt water is poured into a glass containing cold tap water, the salt water will collect and settle at the bottom of the glass. This is due to the salinity and density of the salt water.
