Summary Introduction

To describe:

How salt dissolves in water.

Introduction:

Water is transparent chemical substances that lack taste, color or odor. It is a polar molecule, as they contain both positive ${\text{(H}}^{\text{+}}\text{)}$ and negative ${\text{(O}}^{{\text{2}}^{\text{-}}}\text{)}$ charged molecules. This positively charged hydrogen atom and a negatively charged oxygen atom in water results in the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bond.
