A salt is a compound formed when the hydrogen of an acid is replaced by a metal. Hydrochloric acid produces chlorides such as sodium chloride. Nitric acid makes nitrates such as potassium nitrate. Sulfuric acid gives sulfates such as magnesium sulfate.

Are salts bases?
Salts are salts and bases are another class of compounds: they contain the anion OH-.
What are compounds composed of a metal and a non-metal known as?
salts
Are noble gases known for forming salts?
The number of compounds of noble gases is very low; salts derived from xenon are known.
What are the examples of isomorphism of ionic crystals?
Compounds are said to be isomorphic when the crystals have the same form. In crystallographic terms this means having the same space group. The best known examples are perhaps the alums and the double sulfates, Tutton's salts. The crystals of the different compounds are very similar.
Is salt and calcium chloride the same?
Common table salt is sodium chloride, which is different from calcium chloride. However, calcium chloride is a remember of a class of compounds known as salts.
What are salts examples of?
Examples of salts: NaCl, LiF, CaSO4, UO2(N)3)2, ThF4, BaCl2, CaCl2, NH4F, MgCl2, Na3PO4, CsI, LiI etc.
Do humans have very reactive nonmetals that easily form compounds called salts with metals?
Yes, it is true, many useful salts are known.
Binary ionic compounds are called salts?
yes, but not all salts are binary ionic compounds
Are salts nonionic compounds?
Salts are ionic compounds that are formed by neutrlization of an acid & a base.
What are the examples of ionic compounds and their uses?
Ionic compounds are also called salts. An example of their uses is sodium chloride (Na+Cl-), which is used in the kitchen (it is normal salt as we know it).
What characteristics that all salts have in common?
Salts are ionic compounds.
Are salts an example of an ionic compound?
Salts are ionic compounds.
