NaCl provides Na+ ions that will block negative charge from phosphates on DNA.
Negatively charged phosphates on DNA cause molecules to repel each other. The Na+ ions will form an ionic bond with the negatively charged phosphates on the DNA, neutralizing the negative charges and allowing the DNA molecules to come together
For DNA to precipitate down when ethanol added it needs a higher salt concentration which will allow it to precipitate more accurately, hence this salt is given in form of Na acetate which is the best salt for the purpose or else NaCl
Sodium chloride was needed to ensure the proteins in the cell aren't separated from the rest of the solution with the DNA.
potassium acetate (KAc) is added, which does three things: a. Circular DNA is allowed to renature. Sheared cellular DNA remains denatured as single stranded DNA (ssDNA). b. The ssDNA is precipitated, since large ssDNA molecules are insoluble in high salt. c. Adding sodium acetate to the SDS forms KDS, which is insoluble. This will allow for the easy removal of the SDS from your plasmid DNA.
Ethanol is used to precipitate the DNA. I.e. to bring the DNA out of solution. Precipitated DNA is then spun down and re suspended in the appropriate buffer that is suitable for sample storage
Cold ethanol or isopropanol is used to precipitate the plasmid DNA, DNA is insoluble in alcohol and clumps or clings together. Centrifuging will cause the precipitate to form a pellet which can be decanted from the unwanted supernatant. Where as if compared with RNA isolation isopropanol is less efficient in precipitating RNA, where in presence of Lithium chloride or ammonium ions can give a good yield
TKM, which stands for Tris-EDTA-NaCl-KCl-MgCl2 buffer, is used in DNA isolation to stabilize the DNA and maintain a conducive environment for enzymatic reactions. Tris provides a stable pH, EDTA chelates divalent metal ions that could degrade DNA, while NaCl and KCl help in the lysis of cells and stabilization of nucleic acids. The magnesium chloride (MgCl2) is crucial for enzymatic activities, particularly those involving DNA polymerases. Together, these components enhance the yield and purity of isolated DNA.
Chelating agent
NaCl provides Na+ions which form ionic bond with the negatively charged phosphate of DNA,thus neutralizing the effect of negative ,negative repulsion of DNA and helps the DNA molecules to come closer and compact to simplify our process of DNA isolation...

it is chealeting agent and has great affinity with metal ions and mg- ions present in dnase as a cofactor and responsible for dnase action that degreded DNA hear edta bide with mg- ions and stop the action of dnase.
Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a chelating agent commonly used in DNA isolation to sequester divalent metal ions, such as Mg2+, that are required by nucleases to degrade DNA. By removing these metal ions, EDTA helps to inhibit the activity of nucleases and stabilize the DNA during the isolation process.

tris, EDTA (TE solution) and NaCl, TNE buffer is a buffer solution used in molecular biology, especially for DNA and RNA
TE stands for Tris and EDTA. The Tris buffers the water to prevent acid hydrolysis of the DNA/RNA. The EDTA chelates divalent cations that can assist in the degradation of RNA.
EDTA is a chelating agent that helps to bind and remove metal ions that can degrade DNA during extraction processes. It helps to stabilize the DNA and prevent enzymatic degradation, allowing for a more efficient and successful extraction of DNA.
It sequester carbohydrates in the solution
the role seveg in plant DNA extractions is to remove chlorophyll and similar pigments
EDTA is used in DNA extraction processes to chelate divalent cations, such as magnesium, which are necessary for the activity of DNases that can degrade DNA. By removing these cations, EDTA helps protect the DNA from degradation during the extraction process.
