Water, Salt, And Conductivity: Exploring Ionic Connections
Water, salt, electrical conductivity, and ionic compounds are closely interconnected concepts. Water is a polar molecule that can dissolve ionic compounds, such as salt (NaCl). When salt dissolves in water, it dissociates into its constituent ions, sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-). These ions can then move freely in the water, allowing it to conduct electricity. … Read more
