Molecular formula of salt is NaCl (SODIUM CHLORIDE)

sodium chloride is a ionic compound. When it is placed in water it dissolves in to its ions as Na+ and Cl-

If it don't dissociate into tis ions then it will not dissolve in water.

Table salt (NaCl) is a crystal, held together by strong ionic bonds. When we dissolve an ionic compound by stirring it in water, the positive poles of the water molecules are attracted to the anions, while the negative poles of other water molecules are attracted to the cations, so the polar water molecules "pull" the ions out of a crystal. As a result of these interactions, the ionic bonds eventually break and ions are released into the water.

The hydration of its ions causes a salt crystal to break apart (dissolve) in the water. Therefore, when table salt (NaCl) is dissolved, two hydrated ions appear in the water: a positively charged cation Na+ and a negative charged anion Cl-.

The water would be the solvent because there is more water than salt. In this case, the salt is the solute. If there was more salt than water, it would be the other way around.
