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?

The simple English Wikipedia is great for certain things. I often use it for math articles, because the regular one jumps right into formulas and assumes you know stuff like Fourier transforms.
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?
