How do potassium chloride particles bond to water particles?
Potassium chloride is an ionic compound, composed of positive potassium ions and negative chloride ions. When it dissolves in water, the ions separate and become surrounded by water molecules. Water is a covalent compound, but it is polar, which means that one end (the oxygen) is a little bit negative, and the other is a little bit positive. The slightly negative ends are attracted to the positive potassium ions and the slightly positive ends are attracted to the chloride ions. These are electrostatic attractions.
Can a positively charge hydrogen ends of water molecules attract chloride ions?
chloride ions have a negative charge... hydrogen ions have a positive charge... positive and negative means attraction

What W can be used to dissolve salt?
Water can be use to dissolve salt. The positive part of water molecules attracts the negative chloride ions and the negative part of water molecules attracts the positive sodium ions.

Why sodium have a positive charge in sodium chloride?
Sodium Chloride does not have free electrons normally, Sodium with electron arrangement: 2,8,1 and Chlorine with electron arrangement: 2,8,7 When they react Sodium ionises to 2,8 ( Ne) Chlorine gains the free electron to ionise to 2,8,8 (Ar) Forming Sodium Chloride or Na+CL-
What atoms does the compound NaCl contain?
Sodium (Na) has the positive charge; the chloride ion (Cl) has the negative charge.
What is example of an ionic compound?
