Salts get dissolved in water because it has partial positive and negative charges. So option (c) is correct.

<h3>Why does salt dissolves in water?</h3>

The water molecules pull the Na and Cl ions apart while breaking the ionic bond which held them together. After the salt ions are pulled apart, they get surrounded by water molecules. The salt dissolves to form a homogeneous solution.

  1. The slightly positive portion of sodium is attracted to the slightly negative portion of oxygen on the water molecule. At the same time, the slightly electronegative chlorine moieties of NaCl are attracted to the slightly electropositive hydrogen moieties of water.
  2. In either case, no true bond is formed, the stronger covalent bonds of water (also commonly held by hydrogen bonds between water molecules) win, NaCl gets pulled apart, resulting in dissociation of Na+ and Cl- ions with the Na+ and Cl- ions setting loosely in place between the intact H₂O molecules. NaCl is then ​dissolved​.

Salts are ionic and are expected to dissolve in water because water itself is polar. Therefore, ionic salts are expected to dissolve in polar solvents.

Why atoms in our body don’t <br><br>eject electrons?​
Zolol [24]

Answer:

When there are too many protons, some of the outer protons are loosely bound and more free to react with the electron. But most atoms do not have too many protons, so there is nothing for the electron to interact with. As a result, each electron in a stable atom remains in its spread-out wavefunction shape.

In an atom, there is a nucleus made up of neutral charged, neutrons, and positively charged protons. The reason why electrons which are negatively charged, don't fly off is due to its stronger attraction to the protons. ... This, however, still allows the electrons to move around the nucleus of an atom.

The knowledge produced by science builds on old ideas and is constantly changing.
VikaD [51]
Yes it is always changing, as time moves on new technological advancements are made. This makes it possible for new ideas to be created. For example the depiction of an atom went through many stages throughout the years in order to find out our current final version. New scientists and new ideas can add on to older ones, making explanations that make more scientific sense.
