There are many "salts" in nature, including magnesium hydrate or, calcium carbonate, but the one of primary interest in nutrition is NaCl (sodium chloride), or "table salt. It is significant because, being such an excellent flavour enhancer, it is used extensively and, for those who have high blood pressure, or oedema, it is to be kept at the lowest level possible.
positively charged ions such as chloride, ammonium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, iron, and manganese
Sodium chloride (NaCl, or table salt), is what we commonly think of as salt. Salts, however, are a broader category that include all chemical compounds that are derived from acids by replacing the hydrogen wholly or partly with a metal or nonmetal.
Ionic compounds that can be formed by replacing one or more of the hydrogen ions of an acid with another positive ion.

Chemical elements in the form of dissolved ions that are carried in irrigation water and deposited in the soil when water moves into plants or evaporates from the soil surface.
Substances produced from the reaction between acids and bases; compounds consisting of a metal (positive) and nonmetal (negative) radical. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
A general term for chemical which. when dissolved in water, separate into negatively and positively charged ions.
A class of compounds that includes common table salt, sodium chloride, as well as salts of concern in irrigated agriculture, e.g. the various carbonates, bicarbonates, sulfates, phosphates and chlorides of sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium.
most commonly NaCl or table salt but includes other salts such as MgCl 2
class of chemical compounds, mostly metallic oxides. Examples are sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and magnesium sulphate Humans as organisms
