It is not correct to say " a molecule of salt " because salt is a compound.

Explanation:

As we know a molecular bond is present in each molecule.
Salt (NaCl) is considered as a compound because it is made up of two types of elements that are sodium as well as chlorine.
On the other hand it is not considered as a molecule as it is not holding an ionic bond.
As a result we can name it as an ionic compound. Hence it is not considered as a molecule of salt.

Predict the following chemical formula for a compound between aluminum and chlorine. AlCl3 Al3Cl Al2Cl3 Al3Cl2

Tasya [4]

Both aluminum and chlorine have known charges, which are +3 and -1 respectively. To make them cancel each other out in charge, you would need 3 chlorine and for one aluminum, therefore $AlCl_{3}$ would be correct
