Why does table salt (nacl) dissolve readily in water?
it is a hydrophobic substance.
it is a polar molecule.
it is an ionic compound.
it is a binary compound.

The correct answer is It is an ionic compound.

NaCl ( table salt) is an ionic compound as it is made up of positively charged sodium ion, which is bonded to the negatively charged chloride ion.

The negative part of NaCl is attracted by the positive part of the water molecule. Similarly, the positive part of NaCl is attracted by the negative part of the water molecule. Due to this, the table salt gets readily dissolved in water.
