Okay, I thought this would be an easy question to answer, if you follow this link you will get an answer that will short circuit your brain http://www.saltinstitute.org/15.html Then I found this: Salt consists of the elements sodium chlorid Salt comes from two main sources. Seawater, salt from the sea, is salty because rain water dissolves minerals containing sodium and chlorine in rocks and soil. The other main source of salt occurs in hard massive layers beneath the ground. This is called rock salt which is formed by the evaporation of large parts of oceans millions of years ago. Underground salt deposits are found on every continent. In the U.S.A. these deposits occur in 32 states. http://www.petzfamilyschool.com/youngsalt.htm I hope this was not confusing (O: ((((cheerlover86:)))) Thank you I am glad I helped you (O:

There is a soft, lightweight metal called sodium which we never see because it bursts into flames in air and can even burn under water. There is a greenish gas called chlorine that we never smell because it is poisonous and which can only exist in pure form because it quickly combines with almost every other element it's exposed to. If you got some pure sodium and exposed it to pure chlorine in a container, it would burn at a very high temperature. The ashes left over would be little cubes of salt stuck together. Yes, these two deadly poisonous and dangerous substances become common table salt which we need every day of our lives.

I am sure you are referring to sodium chloride. But salt in general can be any cation and anion system. potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, ionic liquids etc. all of these are considered salts.

NaCl sodium chloride.

sodium and chlorine i think. no idea where you get those from, I'm not a chemistry expert!

Common Sea Salt is actually a by-product of whale spit. The whales basic digestive system produces salt in its lower spit glands through a process called Mucci-Sochloriosis, the compound formed is a combination of whale mucus and sodium chloride (sea salt), which the whale uses to protect and maintain the Baleen plates (the filter-like plate the whale uses to obtain food such as plankton). The mucus and salt breaks down harmful buildup of foreign material on the plates and keeps the filter like system free from unwanted bacterium

Salt is made of sodium ions and chloride ions. Here is a simplified graphic model of it: http://www.rkm.com.au/SALT/SALT-sodium-chloride.html
