Neither. It's a salt which is formed from a neutralization reaction. For example, NaCl (sodium chloride) is table salt. It is made from a metal (sodium) and a nonmetal (chlorine).

Which of the following best describes a neutralization reaction?
Acid + base = salt + water
Is magnesium and hydrochloric acid an acid-base reaction?
No, it is a single displacement reaction. It can also be called a redox reaction. It is not an acid base reaction because although hydrochloric acid is obviously and acid, magnesium is a metal, not a base.
What are the three types of reactions that produce salts?
Types of reactions that produce salts:- neutralization reaction (acid + base)- metal + acid- metal + nonmetal- a reaction between salts- reactions between anhydrides and an acid/salt
When solutions of an acid and a base are reacted the products are a A new acid and a new base b A salt and water c A metal oxide and water d A nonmetal oxide and water?
The products are a salt and water.
Is CaBr2 an acid base or salt?
It is the combination of a metal (other than hydrogen) and a nonmetal, forming a salt.
A salt is obtained as a reaction between a nonmetal and a metal B a base and water C an acid and oxygen D a base and an acid?
Acid and base.

Salts are formed by?
The reaction of an acid and a base. which of the following combinations form a salt? 1) two metals 2) two nonmetals 3) a metal and a nonmetal 4) a nonmetal and a noble gas
All salts are formed from an acid and base?
yes, all salts are formed from an acid and a base. More specifically, all salts are made from a metal and a nonmetal.
What are the three types of reactions that produce salts?
Types of reactions that produce salts:- neutralization reaction (acid + base)- metal + acid- metal + nonmetal- a reaction between salts- reactions between anhydrides and an acid/salt
What is the processing which a metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction?
For example the reaction with water, an acid, a base etc.
Why is potassium cloride a salt?
Because is an ionic compound containing a metal (the cation K+) and an anion (nonmetal Cl-). Also potassium chloride is the product of a neutralization reaction between a base (KOH) and an acid (HCl).
What is a substance that gives up hydrogen in a chemical reaction an alkali or a base oran acid or a metal?
acid
In a neutralization reaction are the metal and a non-metal the reactants?
No, The metal and non-metals are ions that are present in the acid and base. The acid and the base are the reactants. E.G Neutralisation of Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O the metal ion in the base is sodium The metal ion in the acid is Chloride (Chlorine ion)
When solutions of an acid and a base are reacted the products are a A new acid and a new base b A salt and water c A metal oxide and water d A nonmetal oxide and water?
The products are a salt and water.
What kind of compounds is salt when acids and bases react?
A Group I or II metal and a nonmetal forms the salt tin this reaction from their compounded acid and base state. Generally, both strong acids and bases.NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O
