Answer:

Cations, Oxygen, Anions, Hydrogen

Explanation:

Water molecule is polar (meaning it has dipoles). The oxygen having a higher atomic mass attracts most of the electron cloud of the molecule becoming partially negatively charged and leaving the hydrogen end to be partially positive.

An Ionic compound is one between two atoms where one donates its electrons to the other for both to achieve stable configuration. The two atoms, therefore, become charged and are bought together by electrostatic forces.

When an ionic compound is put in water, it dissociates into its ions (anions and cations) They attract and repel with the polar water molecules depending on their charges. The anions (negatively charged ion) are surrounded by water molecules with the hydrogen ends and the cations are surrounded by water molecules with the oxygen ends.

Answer:

Positive sodium ion, oxygen atom, negative chloride ion, hydrogen are the answers

Explanation:

Water can dissolve many solutes. Water molecules are polar; however, it acts differently with charged polar substances. This interaction of water with charged substances forms hydration shell surrounding the solute. So, when the ionic compound NaCl dissociate in water, the hydration shell formation occurs around the ions.

The positively charged Na become surrounded by partially negative charge of the oxygen atom of water molecule and the negatively charged Cl become surrounded by partially positive charge of hydrogen atoms of water.
