Any ionic solid will be a salt.

Explanation:

Another name for salt is ionic solid. These are compounds consisting of a positive ion (generally a metal) plus a negative ion, which can be a non-metal ion or a polyatomic ion, such as $N O_{3}^{-}$ $NO_3^-$ or $S O_{4}^{2 -}$ $SO_4^(2-)$ .

Salts exist in the form of crystalline solids showing a characteristic crystal pattern in the arrangement of the ions. Many are soluble in water, though many exceptions exist.

Examples of salts include

sodium chloride, $N a C l$ $NaCl$
magnesium sulfate, $M g S O_{4}^{2 -}$ $MgSO_4^(2-)$
ammonium nitrate, $N H_{4} N O_{3}$ $NH_4NO_3$
