The chemical equation is 'NaCl'.

However, in chemistry, a 'salt' is any metal cation and any acid radical anion. So something like CaCO3 ( Calcium carbonate) is a salt.

In every day terms 'salt' is the white crystalline powder used in food preparation. which is NaCl . 'Na' is the sodium cation (Na^+) and the chloride 'Cl' is the acid radical anion (Cl^-) .
