No, not in its solid (dry) state. Table salt - solid sodium chloride (NaCl) - is comprised of one atom of sodium and one atom of chlorine. When it is dissolved in water, that is to say (ie) placed in an aqueous solution, it disassociates into two ions, a positive one (Na+1) and the oppositely charged negative one (Cl-1) ; which together, outside of solution, form an electrically neutral molecule.
