There are many Chemical Salts. However, if you mean the salt that you cook with , or found on a table , ( table salt) , then its formula is 'NaCl'.

That is one sodium ion (Na^(+) and one chloride ion (Cl^(-) .

They combine by electrostatic attraction, like the N & S Poles of a magnet.

Chemical salts are substances which have a metal cation e.g. M^(+) or M^(2+) or M^(3+) , and an acidic anion X^(-) , X^2-) or X^(3-)

e.g. CuSO4 ( Copper Sulphate) Cu^(2+) & SO4^(2-)
