What is main ingredients of the salts?
Salts contain a cation (metal or ammonium) and an anion (a nonmetal etc.).
All salts are formed from an acid and base?
yes, all salts are formed from an acid and a base. More specifically, all salts are made from a metal and a nonmetal.
What are Mineral salts?
Two main components: a metal (or ammonium) as cation and an anion.
When acids and bases react do they form compounds called salts which are made of a metal and a nonmetal?
Yes, this is true; the reaction is called neutralization.
How are the salts named?
Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal are named this way: [metal] [nonmetal root]-ide Examples: sodium + chlorine = sodium chloride potassium + iodine = potassium iodide Salts made from a metal or other complex cation and a nonmetal or other complex anion are named based on the cation and anion names: ------------------------------- ammonium ion + hydroxide ion = ammonium hydroxide sodium ion + hypochlorite ion = sodium hypochlorite calcium ion + chloride ion = calcium chloride
What are metallic salts?
A salt is made when a acid reacts with a base which equalises in both being neutrlized.
What type of chemical bonds that holds between a metal and a nonmetal?
For example salts have an ionic bond.
Is matter made of metal or nonmetal?
No.
When acids and bases react they form compounds called salts which are made of a metal and a nonmetal?
Yes, it is true; the reaction is called neutralization.
Is chloride a metal or nonmetal?
Chloride is a term used for salts. Chlorine is a chemical element, nonmetallic.
Is all matter made of metal or nonmetal?
No.
Does a reaction of a metal and a non-metal form a base or an acid?
Neither. It's a salt which is formed from a neutralization reaction. For example, NaCl (sodium chloride) is table salt. It is made from a metal (sodium) and a nonmetal (chlorine).
