A salt is a compound made up of an anion and a cation. Each
one is an atom or a group of atoms that caries a charge -
positive for a cation and negative for an anion. A calcium
salt is one with a calcium ion as a cation. AFAIK, there is
no theoretical limit to the number of possible anions, so
there is no theoretical limit on the number of calcium salts.

Why is calcium salt one with a calcium ion as a cation ? Why is there
no theoretical limit to the number of possible anions?
