Yes a salt is formed by the ionic bonding of a cation and an anion.
Below are some ineresting facts about common salt, NaCl from a contribitor.

METHODS OF SALT PRODUCTION
The three primary methods for producing salt are rock salt mining, solution mining and solar production
* Rock salt mining
This is an underground mining process in which the salt is physically dug out of the ground in an operation involving drilling, blasting and crushing the rock. The major percentage of this output is used for winter road maintenance (road 'gritting' or 'salting').
* Solution mining and brine evaporation
This is the most common process for the production of industrial and edible salt in Northern Europe. Water is pumped into the underground rock salt deposits from above the ground to produce fully saturated brine, which is then pumped back to the surface.
Originally, salt was produced by boiling the brine in 'open pans', to evaporate off the water, leaving salt crystals. It is now evaporated under vacuum in huge evaporator vessels, to produce the familiar white salt. This salt can be used in industry, in catering and, of course, at the table.

Solar salt production
In hot countries, salt is produced by allowing the sun to evaporate sea water in shallow pools or 'pans'. Because our mean temperatures are lower and the rainfall higher, there is no commercial solar salt production in the United Kingdom.
It has been estimated that salt has over 14,000 uses, with differing grades of salt required for various applications. The different production methods help to meet this need

When two atoms join by sharing electrons the bond is called ionic or covalent or permanent?
When two atoms join by sharing electrons, the bond formed is called a covalent bond. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, not sharing. A "permanent" bond is not a scientific classification of a bond type.
Explain how and why a covalent bond is formed?
A covalent bond is formed when atoms share electrons to attain a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons allows both atoms to fill their outer electron shells and become more stable. Covalent bonds tend to form between nonmetal atoms that have similar electronegativities.
When glycine and alanine react what type of compound is formed?
When glycine and alanine react, a dipeptide compound is formed. This is because the amino acids join together through a peptide bond, which links the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of the other, creating a bond between the two amino acids.
What structure that results when atoms are join together by covalent bond is called?
What structure that results when atoms are join together by covalent bond is called?
If two atoms of nitrogen were to join together to form a bond between themselves and obey the octet rule would their bond be likely to be ionic or covalent?
The bond formed between two nitrogen atoms would most likely be a covalent bond. This is because nitrogen atoms are nonmetals and tend to share electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, rather than transferring electrons to form an ionic bond.
When sodium and chloride join together an electron from sodium is transferred to the chloride to form a bond what is the bond called?
The bond formed between sodium and chloride, where the electron is transferred from sodium to chloride, is called an ionic bond. This bond is formed between a metal (sodium) and a non-metal (chloride) through the transfer of electrons.
When two atoms join by sharing electrons the bond is called ionic or covalent or permanent?
When two atoms join by sharing electrons, the bond formed is called a covalent bond. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, not sharing. A "permanent" bond is not a scientific classification of a bond type.
How do atoms join to together to make different substances?
There are two different types of bonds when atoms join together. Covalent bonds are formed when atoms "share" electrons. Ionic bonds are formed when an atom gives up its electrons to another to form a bond.
The sugar molecules forming a disaccharide are held together by a glycosidic bond true or false?
True. Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides join together through a glycosidic bond, which is a type of covalent bond. This bond forms between the hydroxyl groups of the two sugar molecules.
When to elements join together it is called?
When two elements join together it is called a chemical bond. Chemical bonds are formed through the sharing or transfer of electrons between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The bond that is formed between two glucose molecules is called what?
The bond formed between two glucose molecules is called a glycosidic bond. This linkage occurs through a condensation reaction, where a molecule of water is eliminated as the two glucose units join together.
What is the linkage or bond that is formed between two amino acids to form a protein?
It is called a peptide bond. It is formed by a condensation reaction (that is a reaction where water is produced). When two amino acids join a dipeptide is formed. A typical protein contains many thousands of amino acids all joined together by peptide bonds.
Explain how and why a covalent bond is formed?
A covalent bond is formed when atoms share electrons to attain a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons allows both atoms to fill their outer electron shells and become more stable. Covalent bonds tend to form between nonmetal atoms that have similar electronegativities.

What are synonyms for bond?
come together, unite, join

Why isn't there an charge when an ionic compound forms?
compounds are formed when two ions (charged atoms) bond, in this case ionically. an ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal, and those atoms will form cations (positive ions) and anions (negative ions) -respectively. when a positive and a negative join together, they will cancel out, therefore creating no charge on your ionic compound.
