What does salt form when it dissolves?
ions. depending on which kind of salt: NaCl -> Na+ + Cl-
Most inorganic salts are ionic in nature and therefore it will dissociate in ions. For example Copper sulphate will dissociate in Cu+2 and SO4 -2 ions. If the dissociation energy of the salt is too high, it will remain partially or completely as salt in the solution. large number of organic salts do not dissociate completely and the solution will contain Ions and salt - both.
