Acidic salt: Acid salts are formed by the partial replacement of the ionizable hydrogen atoms of a polybasic acid by a metal or an ammonium ion.
Normal salt: Normal salts are the salts formed by the complete replacement of the ionizable hydrogen atoms of an acid by a metallic or an ammonium ion.
Mixed salt: Mixed salts are those salts that contain more than one basic or acid radical.
Examples:
(a) A Normal salt : Na2SO4 , NaCl
(b) An acid salt : NaHSO4 , Na2HPO4
(c) A mixed salt : NaKCO3 , CaOCl2
