  • Table salt is NaCl, if I remember correctly.
  • It depends what type of salt you are asking. If I remember correctly from my chemistry classes, a salt is any compound that may result from the reaction between and acid and a base. So, there are as many salts as there are possible reactions between acids and bases. For example, Epsom salts (MgSO4·7H2O) results from the reaction between magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Now then, if you are asking about common, ordinary table salt (the mineral halite), then Eli Lies' answer is correct.
