A salt is an ionic compound which when dissolved in water yields a positive ion other than hydrogen ion (H⁺) and a negative ion other than hydroxyl ion (OH^-).

No.	Salt	Prepared from
1 2 3	KCL NH4Cl FeSO4	Acid	Base
		HCl HCl H2SO4	KOH NH3 FeO

No.	Name	Formation	Contains	Examples
1	Normal Salt	Formed by replacement of the hydrogen by a basic radical	Doesn’t contain replaceable hydrogen	NaCl, CuSO4, AgCl, CH3COONa
2	Acid salt	Formed by replacement of a part of the hydrogen by a basic radical	Replaceable hydrogen	NaHSO3, KHSO3, NaH2PO4, K2HPO3
3	Basic salt	Formed by incomplete neutralization of a base Pb(OH)Cl,	Metallic cation OH- of a base & anion of acid with an acid	Cu(OH)NO3, Pb(OH)Cl, Pb(OHNO3)
4	Double salt	Formed by mixing saturated solutions of two salts	Mixture of two salts combined together	Mohr’s salt FeSO4, (NH4)2SO4 6H2O Alum K2SO4.Al2(SO4)3 24H2O
5	Mixed salt	No general method	Two or more acidic or basic	NaKCO3, Ca(OCl)Cl
6	Complex salt	Mixing saturated solution of two salts	Simple and complex ions	K2(HgI4) Na22HO2
