Salt is sodium chloride (NaCl) meaning it is composed of sodium and chlorine.

to separate sodium chloride:

use the method of electrolysis.

as we put sodium chloride in the test tube the Na and the Cl start separating because of the current passed: the chlorine attract to cathode as the poles are unlike.

and the sodium attracts to the anode because of unlike poles.

a cathode is basically a negative cell, whereas an anode is a positive one

sodium attracts to an anode because it is negative in nature whereas chlorine is positive in nature( except hydrogen all gases are positive in nature)

(and the metal is always negative)

How do they find salt?

There are two types of salt. Sea salt and mine salt. Sea salt comes from the ocean. The people who produce sea salt have salt beds created along the coast and the water is evaporated from the beds leaving the salt. The salt is then broken into bricks, stacked, and then sold. Sea salt comes in many different colors depending on where it is processed. Mine salt comes from salt mines and is dug out. One of the largest mines in the world is in Poland. This is so big that it has a church, hospital, and other things. When salt is mined it is processed and cleaned through the use chemicals to make it white ( no chemicals are used in sea salt and is better for you). Most of the table salt today is from a salt mine.
