Iodised salt is made by adding iodine, a non-metal, to table salt (sodium chloride). Iodine is essential for human health, particularly for thyroid function, and its addition helps prevent iodine deficiency disorders. The process usually involves mixing potassium iodate or potassium iodide with salt to ensure that the iodine is stable and effective.
Thankfully it is now very easy to get non-iodised salt at local grocery chains. Brands like Kroger, Harveys, and Publix all have store brand non-iodised salt. Lawreys and Morton also sell a non-iodised salt on their website.

In case of common salt, chlorine and sodium. In case of any other salt, a metal and a non-metal.
Table salt is sodium chloride, NaCl; the metal is sodium.
Salt, such as table salt (sodium chloride), is made from a metal ion (sodium, a metal) and a non-metal ion (chlorine, a non-metal). The combination of these two ions forms an ionic compound known as salt.
A metal and a non-metal tend to form a salt.
salt is an ionic compound of the metal sodium (Na) and the nonmetal clorine (Cl)
