What is Salt ?
A compound produces when the hydrogen
ion, H+ from an acid is replaced by a metal
ion or an ammonium ion NH4+
* All salts are ionic compound*
Salts consist of cations (positive ions)
originating from bases that combine with the
anios (negative ions) originating from acids.
NaCl
Sodium ion, Na+, originates from Chloride ion, Cl-, originates
base such as NaOH from acid such as HCl

Preparation of salt
Neutralization reaction
between acid and base.
(titration method)
Preparation of insoluble salt
• Prepared through precipitation reaction.
• Both compounds used to form the mixture must
be soluble salts so that free-moving ions can react
to form insoluble salt.
• can be prepared through any of the following
reaction:
acid and metal oxide/metal hydroxide
acid and metal
acid and metal carbonate
Write down the equation of the reaction that
we can use to prepare:
Zinc carbonate,
Potassium nitrate,
Magnesium sulphate,
Silver chloride
Physical characteristic of crystals
Different geometrical shapes and size
Geometrical shape such as cuboid, rhombic, prism.
Flat surface, sharp corner, straight sides.
Have fixed angles between two neighboring surfaces.
