Is salt translucent or opaque

Answer 1

A salt is a stable combination of an acid and an alkali. The commonest is our table salt, sodium chloride.

In a well prepared specimen, the cubic nature of this compound will be obvious, but it is translucent rather then transparent, but colourless. Some specimens of Calcite are almost transparent.

Many salts are quite opaque - probably the majority of them.

The silicates present many examples of gem quality salts, and their transparency is part of their attraction.

Answer 2

Salt is considered translucent, meaning it allows some light to pass through, but not enough to clearly see objects on the other side. This is due to the crystalline structure of salt, which allows light to pass through but scatters it in different directions. In contrast, opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through at all.
