Metallic salts are chemical compounds formed when metals react with acids, resulting in the combination of metal ions and anions. These salts often have distinct properties, such as high melting points and solubility in water, depending on the metal and the anion involved. Common examples include sodium chloride and copper sulfate. These compounds play essential roles in various industries, including agriculture, where they are used as fertilizers, and in medicine, where they can serve as antiseptics or in treatments. Additionally, metallic salts are important in laboratory settings for chemical reactions and analysis.
