For the chemistry of table salt, see Sodium chloride. In chemistry, a salt is a chemical compound consisting of an ionic assembly of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions, which results in a compound with no net electric charge. Salts can be classified in a variety of ways. Solid salts tend to be transparent, as illustrated by sodium chloride.

Salts exist in many different colors, which arise either from their constituent anions, cations or solvates. Few minerals are salts, because they would be solubilized by water. Similarly, inorganic pigments tend not to be salts, because insolubility is required for fastness. Different salts can elicit all five basic tastes, e. Many ionic compounds exhibit significant solubility in water or other polar solvents. Unlike molecular compounds, salts dissociate in solution into anionic and cationic components.
