What is the exact definition of a 'salt'? This question is bugging me from a long time. Thanks!

Neutralization reactions between acids and bases make salts (in general). Are the acids and bases organic? Are they inorganic? Are the salts readily soluble in water? There's a lot of wiggle-room out there.Ashu2912 said:You mean to say that there is no perfectly clear definition for all things? But then won't this hinder concept clarity? As in : If the concept itself is not defined uniformly for all cases, how may we have the clarity of concept? Thanks for your time...

The chemical formula for salt is NaCl, which stands for sodium chloride.
Salt is formed through a process known as salt crystallization, where water evaporates and leaves behind salt crystals.
No, there are many different types of salt, including table salt, sea salt, and kosher salt. They may differ in texture, taste, and mineral content.
Yes, salt is considered a mineral because it is a naturally occurring substance with a specific chemical composition and crystal structure.
Salt is important for many reasons, including enhancing the flavor of food, preserving food, and providing essential sodium and chloride ions for our bodies to function properly.
