A salt is a metal element bonded to a non-metal element. This typically results in an ionic bond, where the metal atom donates one or more electrons to the non-metal atom, creating positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other. Examples of salts include sodium chloride (table salt), magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt), and calcium carbonate (chalk and limestone).
