C. It is a reaction to emotion but not to maintain stability.
Answer:
sodium ions and chloride ions
chloride ion
sodium ion
Explanation:
Ionic substances are composed of ions. When you dissolve an Ionic substance in water, the ions that compose the substance together with water molecules are present in solution.
Hence, when sodium chloride is dissolved in water, sodium ions and chloride ions are released in solution.
Water has a dipole moment. Hence, the chloride ions are attracted to hydrogen (the positive end of the dipole) while sodium ions are attracted to oxygen (the negative end of the dipole).
This is how the solid is dissolved in water.
