In Inorganic chemistry, salts are ionic compounds that are formed from the neutralization reactions of an acid and a base. Salts are made up of an equal number of anions {negative ions} and cations {positive ions}. In chemistry, soap is a type of salt. This is because it is formed from the mixing of an acid and a base. Soaps and detergents help to clean clothes, skin, dirty dishes, and other items by dissolving grease. Detergents are made up of special molecules. Part of these molecules is attracted to water. The other part is attracted to grease. The part that is attracted to grease will dissolve the grease and break it up into smaller components that can then be rinsed away by water.
