The statement is true. This is because the chemical formula for a salt compound (a compound is made up of two or more atoms of elements) is NaCl, where Na is Sodium, and Cl is Chlorine. Hope this helps!
When prey is abundant, predator populations increase because more young are able to survive. More predators kill more prey, which, along with food scarcity, decreases the population. When prey becomes more scarce, the predator population declines until prey is again more abundant. Therefore, the two balance each other.
