3) In hardware design, a prototype is a hand-built model that represents a manufactured (easily replicable) product sufficiently for designers to visualize and test the design. The word prototype comes from the Latin words proto, meaning original, and typus, meaning form or model.
In chemistry, a salt is an ionic compound which is made up of two groups of oppositely charged ions. The ion with a positive charge is called a cation, and the one with a negative charge is called an anion.
In chemistry, a salt is an ionic compound that can be formed by the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. Salts are composed of related numbers of cations and anions so that the product is electrically neutral. These component ions can be inorganic, such as chloride, or organic, such as acetate; and can be monatomic, such as fluoride, or polyatomic, such as sulfate. There are several varieties of salts. Salts that hydrolyze to produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water are alkali sa
