What are Salts?
A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt
It involves the combination of H+ ions and OH- ions to generate water.
When a solution is neutralized, it means that salts are formed from equal weights of acid and base
Acid + Base --> Salt + Water
Therefore salt is a combination of a metal ion and a non-matal ion.
Example- NaCl ,KCl.
