The bonding between sodium and chlorine, why is it that type of bounding? what it creates? what happens in water when you put sodium chloride in water?

I need it quickly and not copy-write.

Answer:

NaCl sodium chloride is an ionic salt. Also commonly known as table salt. When you put sodium chloride in water, the molecule dissolves in water because the covalent bonds of water (H2O) is stronger than the ionic bond of NaCl.

Step-by-step explanation:

To be more specific, the two hydrogen (+) molecules are attracted to the chlorine due to its negative charge. The oxygen (2-) of the water is also attracted to the Na (+). Water eventually pulls Sodium Chloride apart (breaks ionic bond) and dissolves it.
