Salts are made of metal ions and nonmetal ions.
Salts contain a cation (metal or ammonium) and an anion (a nonmetal etc.).
Two main components: a metal (or ammonium) as cation and an anion.
Yes, this is true; the reaction is called neutralization.
Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal are named this way: [metal] [nonmetal root]-ide Examples: sodium + chlorine = sodium chloride potassium + iodine = potassium iodide Salts made from a metal or other complex cation and a nonmetal or other complex anion are named based on the cation and anion names: ------------------------------- ammonium ion + hydroxide ion = ammonium hydroxide sodium ion + hypochlorite ion = sodium hypochlorite calcium ion + chloride ion = calcium chloride
Chlorine is a nonmetal that is highly reactive with metals. It can form salts with metals through a chemical reaction known as metal chlorides.
For example salts have an ionic bond.
Sodium oxide is a compound made up of the metal sodium and the nonmetal oxygen. Sodium is a metal, while oxygen is a nonmetal.
No.
True. Most salts are binary ionic compounds composed of a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.
Salts are formed from the reaction between an acid and a base, where the hydrogen ions from the acid are replaced by metal or ammonium ions. The resulting product is a salt and water. This chemical process is known as neutralization.
Yes, it is true; the reaction is called neutralization.
No.
