The correct answer is that the polar bonds are altered and the boiling point is elevated.
Explanation:
In the case of table salt mixed with water, the sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) atoms initially bound together in the form of a crystal are dissolved by the water molecules.
The sodium and chlorine ions are mixed uniformly with the surrounding water molecules, so that the salt dissolves in the water, forming a homogeneous mixture. Water is a polar compound, so it easily dissolves polar substances such as salts.
This raises the boiling point of the water, as it is more difficult to break the bonds of the solution.
