Is salt a metal or nonmetal?

Table salt is made of a chlorine ion and a sodium ion. Sodium is a metal, and chlorine is a nonmetal. Salt on its own is neither; it is an ionic compound. Table salt is a salt. We use the term salt to mean table salt very often, but in chemistry, we have to refine our use of the term to include some other ideas. A salt is what results from the combination of an acid and a base. (Water is also produced.) Table salt, sodium chloride (NaCl), is one of many salts. Just for starters, any Group 1 or Group 2 metal combined with any halogen (the Group 17 nonmetals) forms a salt. And there are more. Remember to consider in what application you're using the term "salt" so you can plug into the right set of ideas. If we're talking about salt in the kitchen or on a cooking show, that's sodium chloride or table salt. In the chemistry lab, we've just used a general term that we have yet to make more specific.

How do you separate mixture table salt?

To separate a mixture of table salt and water, you can use evaporation. Simply heat the mixture to evaporate the water, leaving behind the salt crystals. Once all the water has evaporated, you will be left with the salt.


Mixing silver nitrate with table salt?

When you mix silver nitrate with table salt (sodium chloride), a white precipitate of silver chloride forms. This reaction occurs because silver nitrate and table salt react to form insoluble silver chloride. This reaction is often used in chemistry experiments to demonstrate the formation of a precipitate.
