yes it is a compound
No - it is not a compound. There is no chemical interaction between the Na+, Cl- ions and H2O it is suspended in.
Water is a compound. Rust is a compound
Salt water is a suspension.
Water is a compound, Rust is a compound, but Salt Water is not. It is a mixture (or suspension), a combination of the compound Salt (NaCl) and Water (H2O)
Rust and Salt Water have nothing to do with each other. Rust is created in a chemical reaction between iron and oxygen:
2Fe (iron) + O2 (oxygen) --> 2FeO (iron oxide, commonly known as rust)
Salt Water is an aqueous solution, meaning the salt exists as it's separate ions within the water. NaCl and H2O molecules are not combined. The aqueous solution can be written as such:
Na+ + Cl- + H2O
Notice that there is no "-->" meaning no reaction has taken place and those ions and molecule I just wrote are not combining to form any compounds.

Is salt and water mixed a compound mixture or an element?
Both salt and water are compounds. Table salt is sodium chloride (NaCl) made up of the elements sodium and chlorine. Water is H2O so it is made up of the elements hydrogen and oxygen.
Why is that when you mix water and salt together it is still just going to be salty water?
when you mix salt and water together the salt dissolves in the water because water can dissolve the ionic compounds
How come when you mix salt and water together it will still be salty and wet?
when you mix salt and water together the salt dissolves in the water because water can dissolve the ionic compounds
What are examples of compounds?
Aspirin, salt, sugar, water, milk, baking soda, flour, steel, and more are examples of compounds. LiI and NH4CL are salts so ionic compound ICl and SO2 are covalent so nonionic compound. A chemical compound is formed when two or more elements react to form a chemically combined substance which has different chemical and physical properties than the elements from which it was formed. An example of a compound is water (H2O) which is formed from two elements, Hydrogen and Oxygen, which are both gases at room temperature but water is a liquid at room temperature.
What kind of compound ammonia salt water?
They are inorganic compounds; chemical formulas are: - ammonia: NH3 - salt: NaCl - water: H2O
Is salt water is an example of a compound?
No. Salt water is an example of a solution, in which salt is the solute and water is the solvent. Solutions are mixtures, not compounds.
What is a salt dissolving?
Salt is dissolved in water because both are polar compounds.
Is water and salt inorganic compounds?
yes. both are inorganic
What is the source of salt why it dissolve in water?
Salt is easily dissolved in water because both are polar compounds.
Which is a mixture salt salad carbon or water?
Salad is a mixture. Salt and water are both compounds and carbon is an element.
What are the compounds of a solution?
There could be many compounds in a solution. But there has to be at least two of them. For example salt water is a solution.
Two or more compounds mixed together?
A mixture of compounds is when two or more compounds are mixed together. For example, saltwater is a mixture of compounds because it is a mix of two compounds: salt and water.
Are water salt and ammonia inorganic compounds or organic compounds?
Water, salt and ammonia are inorganic compounds.
What are compound example?
Some examples of compounds are water, table salt and sucrose. The water is H2O, table salt is NaCl, and sucrose is C12H22O11.
How does dissolving works with salt and water?
Salt is dissolving in water. It is different in other temperatures.
Is spoonful of salt in water compound or element?
The salt and water separately are both compounds (chemically bonded), ie; are different elements put together. Salt in water is a mixture that is not chemically bonded and can be separated easily. :)
Why is water and salt a compound?
No. Water and salt on their own are compounds, but together they are a mixture.
