When sodium chloride dissolves in water, the positive _______ of water are attracted to the negatively charged chlorine/chloride anions.
poles
sides
ions
cations
When sodium chloride dissolves in water, the negative _______ of water are attracted to the positively charged sodium cations.
poles
sides
ions

The reason why water is able to dissolve many ionic compounds, such as table salt (NaCl), is because
water is a polar molecule and the partially positive hydrogens pull the cations out of the salt crystal
water is polar molecule and the partially negative oxygens pull the cations out of the crystal
water is polar molecule and the partially negative oxygens pull the anions out of the crystal
water is an ionic compound and the negative ion of oxygen pulls out the positive ion of sodium
