When dissolving up ionic solids like NaCl (table salt), the ions separate in solution where Na+ and the Cl- ions are surrounded by the solvent molecules.
These ions have charges so if they dissolve, they dissolve in polar solvents (non-polar solvent molecules are highly symmetrical or are made up of only C & H). Which of the following is a polar solvent that you might use to dissolve an ionic solid?
