Chapter 2.3, Problem 1TC
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether a salt crystal gets dissolved when it is placed in a nonpolar liquid (like oil).
Introduction: A salt crystal is made of NaCl (sodium chloride) and the atoms in it are specifically arranged to bring out the cubic shape and are held together by the ionic bonds.
