2. why is the lonic compound nacl (table salt) able to dissolve in a glass of the molecular compound water (h20)? (3 points)
a both the solute and solvent contain lonic bonding, which makes them compatible.
b the solute and solvent react together to form a new compound.
c lons from the solute have a strong attraction to the polar solvent molecules
d it does not require much energy to break the covalent bonds in the water molecules.

The correct answer is C ions from the solute molecules have a strong attraction to the polar solvent molecules.

Explanation:

NaCl or Sodium chloride is an ionic compound which easily get dissolved in polar molecular compound such as water(H2O).

      Both NaCl and H2O are polar compound because the atoms that forms NaCl and H2O have vast difference in their electronegativities.As a result the bonding electrons in both NaCl and H2O are not equally shared.

     NaCl get dissolved in water molecules by dipole dipole interaction.  

it is a good conductor
