There are many, many, many salts. Table salt, the one you are thinking of, happens to be one that tastes good and is a requirement for health.

Salts are ionic compounds made up of two elements. A salt results when an acid and a base react with each other and cancel each other out. In the case of table salt, these two elements are sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl).

Calcium chloride (de-icer) is a salt. So is potassium chloride, a substitute for people who cannot eat table salt.

Is a diamond considered an element?

Diamond is an ALLOTROPE of the element Carbon. The different physical forms of an element are named ALLOTROPES. Do NOT confuse with isotopes. Carbon is an element, and has three allotropes viz., Graphite Diamond Buckminster Fullerene (footballene). Graphite is carbon atoms combined to three other carbon atoms, and arranged in sheets of hexagons, with a 'loose' electron allowing it to conduct electricity . Diamond is a carbon atom combined to four other carbon atom in a tetrahedral arrangement. There are no 'loose' electrons , so diamond does NOT conduct electricity. It is the hardest known natural substance, because of the atomic arrangement. Buckminster Fullerene (Footballene) is an arrangement of 60(sixty) carbon atoms in a sphere consisting of hexagonal and pentagonal panels, just like a football, hence its nicknname. It is thought that it might be a superconductor. This is because between alternate carbon atoms there are double and single bonds, allowing electrons to move with in the molecule. Diamond
