PLEASE HELP! WILL MARK BRAINIEST IF ANSWERED CORRECTLY.
Ocean water is salty. There are many type of salts (ionic compounds), but the salt that causes most of the saltiness in ocean water is sodium chloride (NaCl). (This is the same chemical as the table salt in your salt shaker.)
Use the concept of polarity to describe in detail how sodium chloride (NaCl) dissolves in ocean water.
the H is slightly positive and the O is slightly negative so the Na is attracted to the O side of the water molecule and the Cl is attracted to the H side of the water molecule
