If liquid bromine is cooled to form a solid, which type of solid does it form? Brass is made by melting copper and zinc and physically mixing them. As this alloy is cooled, it forms a solid where the copper and zinc are not chemically bonded together.
Salts are compounds that contain positively charged ions and negatively charged ions. That is; they consist of the positive ion of a base and the negative ion of an acid.
Salts may be produced when acids and bases are combined together in equal proportions, a process called neutralization.
During neutralization reactions an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water as the only products.
