Salt is an ionic compound composed of cations (positively charged atom) and anions (negatively charged atom)

For example, barium chloride is salt with ionic bonds. Barium chloride contains one barium cations (charge of ion is 2+) and two chlorine anions (charge for ion is 1-).

The representative particle of an ionic compound is its formula unit (lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound), for barium chloride is BaCl₂.
