Salts are made of a combination of halogen atoms and alkali metal atoms. These atoms have specific properties. If they combine with other atoms, however, and they make salts, then these salts have different properties than the atoms that make them. For example, sodium chloride is probably the most famous salt. Sodium is a soft, reactive metal and chlorine is a greenish gas (which, if possible, is even more reactive than sodium), but sodium chloride is a white and extremely nonreactive solid.
