Just "salt" is regular table salt, which has the chemical formula NaCl, sodium chloride. However, iodized salt differs from just NaCl because it contains other iodine-containing salts. A salt (as opposed to just "salt," meaning table salt) is any ionic compound with a metallic cation and non-metallic anion. Table salt is a salt because it contains Na+ and Cl- ions. Ionized salt is composed of NaCl, but also has other salts (ionic compounds), which contain iodine. Some of these other salts include sodium iodide, potassium iodide, and potassium iodate.
Iodine is an important component of our diet, and iodized salt helps with iodine deficiencies. Among other afflictions, iodine deficiency can result in mental retardation. Usually iodine deficiencies are found in inland countries with little or no access to marine food or has poor soil.
