When table salt sodium chloride nacl is placed in water

Asked by admin @ in Biology viewed by 283 People

Table salt (NaCl) is an ionic compound. As with other ionic compounds, NaCl dissolves in water. When placed in water, Na and Cl form ions. Na has a positive charge and Cl has a negative charge. Describe how water molecules interact with these ions.

Answered by admin @


On addition to water the Na+ section of NaCl is attracted to the oxygen side of the water molecules, while the Cl- side is attracted to the hydrogens' side of the water molecule. This causes the sodium chloride to split in water, and the NaCl dissolves into separate Na+ and Cl- atoms.
