Answer:

A. Interactions between the ions of sodium chloride (solute-solute interactions).

B. Interactions involving dipole-dipole attractions (solvent-solvent interactions).

C. Interactions formed during hydration (solute-solvent interactions).

D. Interactions involving ion-ion attractions (solute-solute interactions).

E. Interactions associated with an exothermic process during the dissolution of sodium chloride (solute-solvent interactions).

F. Interactions between the water molecules (solvent-solvent interactions).

G. Interactions formed between the sodium ions and the oxygen atoms of water molecules (solute-solvent interactions).

Explanation:

The solution process takes place in three distinct steps:

Step 1 is the separation of solvent molecules.

Step 2 entails the separation of solute molecules.

These steps require energy input to break attractive intermolecular forces; therefore, they are endothermic.

Step 3 refers to the mixing of solvent and solute molecules. This process can be exothermic or endothermic.

If the solute-solvent attraction is stronger than the solvent-solvent attraction and solute-solute attraction, the solution process is favorable, or exothermic (ΔHsoln < 0). If the solute-solvent interaction is weaker than the solvent-solvent and solute-solute interactions, then the solution process is endothermic (ΔHsoln > 0).

In the dissolution of sodium chloride, this process is exothermic.
