ionic bond
A covalent bond like in hydrogen molecule or a metallic bond like in copper or an ionic bond like in NaCl are examples of chemical bonds.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about chemical bonding.
Two or more elements that are chemically bonded form a molecule of a chemical compound. This is the simple and direct answer to a good basic chemistry question. A molecule. However, if the chemical bond is ionic (like in a salt), it isn't called a molecule, but instead a compound. There are no salt molecules!

Salt is neither. It is a molecule comprised of NaCl (Sodium and chloride) and is bonded together with something called an ionic bond. Therefore it is not a solution, but a chemical compound.
Salt in water is considered to be a weak electrolyte. This is unless there is a great amount of salt in the water.
No, its a gas. You can't mine it.The usual source for Chlorine is common salt, as found in salt mines, salt pans and the sea. Salt is a molecule consisting of one atom of Sodium and one of Chlorine. By breaking the chemical bond between them, Chlorine is released.
the bonds in salts are ionic.
A molecule is two or more atoms held together by a covalent bond (like H2O). I don't think it matters if it's in a chemical reaction or not, a molecule is a molecule. On a side note, atoms held together by ionic bonds (electrons are transferred from one atom to another) do not get classified with the title molecule, but are simply called ionic compounds (NaCl or table salt is an example).

The diazonium molecule includes a nitrogen atom with a quadruple bond. Nitrogen has 3 valance electrons and normally forms a triple bond. The quadruple bond is highly unstable for nitrogen, and therefore, it can easily fail, leading to immediate and dramatic chemical change, which we observe in the form of an explosion.
Table salt is the result of an ionic bond. These ionic bonds are formed as a result of a chemical reaction between chlorine and sodium.
