Detailed explanation-1: -Salts are ionic compounds which, when dissolved in water, break up completely into ions. They arise by the reaction of acids with bases, and they always contain either a metal cation or a cation derived from ammonium (NH4+). Examples of salts include NaCl, NH4F, MgCO3, and Fe2(HPO4)3.

Detailed explanation-2: -NaCl-Sodium chloride. KCl-Potassium chloride. CaCl 2-Calcium chloride. NaHSO 4-Sodium bisulfate. CuSO 4-Copper sulfate. MgSO 4-Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) KI-Potassium iodide. KMnO 4-Potassium permanganate. More items

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple salts – sodium chloride (NaCl) Acidic salts – sodium carbonate (NaHCO3) and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) Basic salts – sodium acetate (NAOOCCH3), potassium cyanide (KCN), and zinc chloride hydroxide (Zn(OH)Cl) More items •12-Jan-2022
