What are salt in chemistry

Accepted Answer

Salt in chemistry refers to ionic compounds formed by the reaction between an acid and a base, resulting in the neutralization of both. These compounds consist of positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions), held together by electrostatic attraction. Salts are typically crystalline solids at room temperature and can be dissolved in water to form solutions that conduct electricity.
