It is the polar nature of water that allows ionic compounds to dissolve in it. In the case of sodium chloride (NaCl) for example, the positive sodium ions (Na+) are attracted to the negative pole of the water molecule, while the negative chloride ions (Cl−) are attracted to the positive pole of the water molecule.
