Table salt is sodium chloride, NaCl.
Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate MgSO4.7H2O.
They are ionic salts.
They are different compounds: table salt is sodium chloride, Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate heptahydrate. They are ionic salts.
Epsom Salts are salts. There are many different kinds of salts, the most widely known being table salt, which is NaCl. The fact that this is not the only kind of salt can cause confusion.
Table salt is sodium chloride. Epsom salts is magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, MgSO4.7H2O A simple test in laboratory would be a flame test. (the epsom salts would need to be pure as sodium yellow can obscure other colours) sodium is yellow, Mg is white.
It depends what you're using it for. For some uses other salts (such as table salt or sea salt) might work; if you're doing something that depends on the specific chemical properties (for example, you need the magnesium ions to be present), then table salt will NOT work.

Not really. Table salt is Sodium chloride whereas Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate and is composed of magnesium, sulfur and oxygen and unlike table salt, it has to be refined before it has any particular use. Table salt will not have the same muscle relaxing effect as Epsom salts, and you may find table salt more drying to the skin.
No. While not poisonous, Epsom salt is not sodium chloride; it is magnesium sulfate.
Unfortunately, you cannot use salt in place of Epsom salts to make silly putty. Epsom salts are magnesium sulfate, which helps give silly putty its unique properties like stretchiness and bounciness. Regular table salt does not have the same chemical composition and will not produce the desired results.
Epsom salts, also known as magnesium sulfate, contain the elements magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen. Magnesium plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, while sulfur is important for skin and joint health. Epsom salts are commonly used in baths to help relax muscles and relieve minor aches and pains.
To relieve the rectal itching, a shallow warm bath with either half a cup of table salt, or Epsom salts is recommended
