<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Ions from the solute have a strong attraction to the polar solvent

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>When sodium is added to water, the sodium ions Na+ are attracted to the oxygen side of the water molecules, while chloride ions Cl- are attracted to the positively charged hydrogen side of water molecule.</u></em>
  • This causes sodium ion to split in water and dissolve into separate sodium ions and chloride ions.
  • The process can be represented by this equation.

  NaCl(s) --> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
