SALT
Superpower arms negotiations
Salt is the common name for sodium chloride, a natural mineral that is a part of many other compounds.
We use salt most frequently to talk about the white crystals of sodium chloride that we use to flavor or preserve food.
In chemistry, a salt is a compound of an acid and a base.
To salt something is to add salt to it.
Salt has many figurative meanings, such as someone who is salt of the earth (admirable in a humble way) or someone who takes a pinch of salt (does not take something at face value).
