Obviously, I’ve heard of table salt (NaCl), but I’ve also heard of others substances being called salts. What do they mean by something being a salt?
There’s the regular Clorox bleach that we use with whites, but then there is non-chlorine bleach. What is a bleach?
Thank you!
It’s also worth noting that calling any ionic compound a salt is a little archaic as it’s simply confusing for no good reason. I teach chemistry at a college and while I make sure my students have heard this terminology, we mostly stick to calling them “ionic compounds” to avoid confusion
