It is both:It is a physical property because the solid salt becomes part of the liquid state of the water.It is a chemical property because the act of dissolving in water changes the salt (NaCl) into separate ions.

solubility - the ability for a substance to dissolve into another substance
Physical
Dissolving is a physical process.
Dissolving salt in water is a physical change- no chemical reaction took place. If the water evaporates, the salt is still there.
The dissolving of salt in water is a physical change because it does not result in a chemical reaction. The salt molecules are simply breaking apart and becoming dispersed in the water, but there is no change in the chemical composition of the salt.
By dissolution the chemical structure is not modified.
Dissolving in water is a physical change.
Dissolving tablets is a physical change, as they can be distilled out again.
Dissolving Skittles in salt and water is a physical change. The Skittles are still the same chemical compounds, but they are now dispersed throughout the water-salt solution.
This is a physical change. You can separate the salt and water by the physical process of distillation or evaporation where the water is boiled away and the salt is left behind.
