Answer:

Yes ionic bonds do dissolve in water

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is a polar solvent and has two poles one negative and another positive. The two poles of water have strong forces of attraction towards other charged ions, due to this water breaks the ionic bond by hydrogen bond formation. Therefore, ionic bonds dissolve in water.

hope this helps
