A salt is a ionic compound that is composed of a cation (positively-charge ion) and an anion (negatively-charged ion).

Examples are sodium chloride, magnesium sulphate, calcium chloride, sodium hyochlorite, sodium nitrate, Mercury sulphide, sodium chromate and magnesium dioxide.

The general table salt: sodium chloride, and potassium chloride

others include Ammonium nitrate and calcium nitrate. By the way, all nitrates are soluble in water so lead nitrate, and sodium nitrate will be soluble too.

Salts that are not, or only very slightly, soluble in water.

Here are some rules of thumb. They're not always true, but they're mostly true and will usually give you a pretty good guess as to whether a particular salt is soluble or not.

  • Nitrates are soluble.
  • Ammonium salts, and alkali metal salts, are soluble with very few exceptions.
  • Acetates tend to be soluble.
  • Chlorides are soluble, except for lead (II), silver, copper (I) and mercury (I).
  • Sulfates are soluble except for lead (II), barium, silver, and strontium.
  • Hydroxides, except those of ammonium and alkali metals, are usually not very soluble. They become a lot more soluble in slightly acidic solutions.
  • Transition metal sulfides are insoluble.
  • Carbonates tend not to be very soluble. Like hydroxides, acidifying the solution slightly dramatically increases their solubility.
  • Most chromates and phosphates are not soluble.

It is impossible to answer with a list: the number of insoluble salts is enormous.

Some examples: barium sulfate, thorium oxalate, cadmium sulfide, uranyl oxinate, etc.
