Yes. If the question is about table salt, that's sodium chloride (NaCl), which is a chemical compound composed of one atom of sodium bonded to one atom of chlorine. Note that the term salt can be used as a general one. In chemistry, the result of any acid-base reaction is a salt and water. We know that hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) combine to produce sodium chloride (NaCl, or table salt) and water.
