Obviously, I’ve heard of table salt (NaCl), but I’ve also heard of others substances being called salts. What do they mean by something being a salt?

There’s the regular Clorox bleach that we use with whites, but then there is non-chlorine bleach. What is a bleach?

    Thanks! Ok, so a bleach is a chemical that removes colors from materials, often making them white. A salt is any substance whose molecules are held by ionic bonds. Is that correct?
