Elemental sodium is poisonous so presumably we don't know what it tastes like. Chlorine is a gas, I believe. But we know well the taste of salt, sodium chloride. But dissolving the stuff in water breaks up the molecules into ions which I presume spread around widely. So what are we tasting in saltwater, the sodium ions or the chlorine ions or something else?
