salts
Ionic crystalline compounds
Salts is the plural of salt—sodium chloride or similar crystalline compounds.
In chemistry, salts form when acids neutralize bases: mineral salts, bath salts.
Smelling salts are pungent ammonia compounds used to revive someone who has fainted.
To salt something away is to save it; salted away savings.
An old salt is an experienced sailor.
