Salt is an general term for ionic bonded materials.
But, it is also a generic term for Sodium Chloride (NaCl), and ionic bonded compound.
Sodium (Na) metal has 11 protons, with 2 electrons in it's inner shell, 8 electrons in its second shell, and 1 in it's third shell which is unfilled.
Chlorine (Cl) has 17 protons with 2 electrons in it's inner shell and 8 electrons in its second shell, and 7 electrons in its third shell shy one electron from filling the shell.
When Sodium and Chlorine combine as a salt, Sodium (Na+) effectively looses its extra electron to give it 2 full shells (energy levels).
Chlorine (Cl-) effectively gains an electron to give it 3 full shells (energy levels).
So, overall Na+Cl- (NaCl) has it's outermost electron shells/energy levels filled.

What is a distinguishing characteristic of a halogen?
A distinguishing characteristic of a halogen is that it has seven valence electrons in its outermost energy level, making it highly reactive. Halogens tend to form salts with metals by gaining one electron to achieve a full outer shell.
Why do you know that lithium salts will never emit green light and copper salts will never emit red light?
Lithium salts do not emit green light because their electron transitions do not correspond to the energy levels associated with green light emission. Similarly, copper salts do not emit red light because the energy levels of their electron transitions do not produce red light emission. Each element's electron transitions are specific to its atomic structure, dictating which colors of light are emitted.
What is the difference in valence electrons of cations which produce colored salts and colorless salts?
well the difference is that the electrons that stick together are the ones that produce the colourless salts and the ones that are rebounded off each other pruduce the salts that have colour in them
Which organ in your body filters your blood and controls the amount of salts in your blood?
The kidneys filter blood and control the level of salts.
What is a stimulant in sport?
Cafine, Smelling salts, Energy drinks etc....
What is slanity?
salinity is when the surface of the earth is filled with salts so much that the colour turns white and that plants cant grow in it.
Does salts found in human saliva vary its pH level?
Yes it does have salt in it
What kind of energy is created from stirring Epsom salts into water?
This is the dissolution heat.
Elements most likely to form coloured salts?
Transition metals are most likely to form colored salts due to their partially filled d or f orbitals, which allow for absorption of certain wavelengths of light. For example, salts of chromium, copper, iron, and cobalt often exhibit distinct colors due to the presence of unpaired electrons in their outer energy levels.
What is the pH level for smelling salts?
Smelling salts typically have a pH level around 9 to 10, making them alkaline in nature. This alkaline pH helps stimulate the respiratory system when inhaled, leading to a quick awakening effect.
How are metallic salts used in a firework?
Metallic salts are used in fireworks to produce different colors when ignited. When the salts are heated, the electrons in the metal atoms get excited and jump to higher energy levels. As they return to their original energy levels, they release energy in the form of light, which creates the vibrant colors seen in fireworks displays.
Do fireworks have nuclearer energy?
No, fireworks do not contain nuclear energy. They operate through chemical reactions that produce heat, light, and sound, using combustible materials like gunpowder and various metal salts for colors. Nuclear energy, on the other hand, involves reactions at the atomic level, such as fission or fusion, which are not present in the chemical processes of fireworks.
