Salt is a compound made of two elements: sodium and chlorine. It is scientifically named as sodium chloride, and the symbol is Na+Cl-. The type of the bond is ionic.

Chlorine is a poisonous substance that exists as a greenish gas at room temperature. But when it bonds with sodium, it gains an electron from sodium. This small change results in becoming safe to eat when bonded to sodium.
