When salt crystals are placed in water the sodium and chloride ions cannot reform salt crystals why?

Because the Na+ and Cl- ions get hydrated (surrounded by water molecules), preventing combination.

Why does a sugar cube disappears when it dissolves in water?
The "cube" disappears but the "sugar" doesn't. When placed in water the sugar dissolves. Essentially the sugar molecules break off from the solid and hide among the water molecules. If the water were to be removed by evaporation the sugar would precipitate out. if done carefully large sugar crystals will grow in the evaporating solution. The sugar cube will not reform as this is an artificial construct.
What is one kind of atom that cannot be broken down into any other substance and is the simplest form of matter?
The simplest type of substance is solid form but for ice it can be broken and reform to solid state.
Do hydrogen bonds in pure water break and reform?
The hydrogen bonds in pure water reform and break as they are intermolecular forces. If they didn't break and reform then pure water would be solid and life couldn't exist.
Does gold reform after it has been mined out of the ground?
No, gold does not reform once it has been mined out of the ground. Once gold has been extracted from the earth, it retains its physical and chemical properties. It can be melted, reshaped, and reused, but it does not regenerate or reform on its own.
Do hydrogen bonds break and reform in liquid?
They die
Why do sodium chloride ions separate in water?
After the sodium chloride dissolves in the water, the mixture can be filtered and the carbon residue then rinsed with clean water and allowed to dry. The sodium chloride will reform as solid crystals after the water has evaporated from the filtrate.
Can broken orbeez reform?
Apparently they cannot but if they can upgrade this answer but I believe that u cannot
Why are Stabilizers put in milk?
Stabilizers help to prevent texture deterioration caused by inevitable temperature fluctuations that occur during distribution, which cause ice crystals to melt and then reform into larger crystals
What is meant by the word anhydrous when applied to a chemical?
Anhydrous simply means 'without water'. The opposite is a hydrated substance, in which salt crystals contain water as an integral part of the crystal. For example, anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride, CoCl2, is a blue powder. Add water and you form cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate, CoCl2.6H2O, which is a pink colour. Anhydrous cobalt chloride can be used to test for the presence of water because of this dramatic colour change. In addition, hydrated copper(II) sulfate, CuSO4.5H2O, forms bright blue crystals. Heating them drives off the water of crystallisation and anhydrous CuSO4, a grey/white powder, is formed. Adding water will reform a blue solution of the hydrated salt.
Why do sugar crystal reform if you evaporate water?
Sugar crystals reform when the water they were previously in evaporates. As the water has evaporated, the sugar particles can no longer be supported separately and so they stick together in order to support themselves.
When salt has been heated to melting point and allowed to cool does it reform into crystals or does it form a glass-like sheet as sand does?
Salt re-crystallizes, and the size of the crystals varies according to the cooling time. Salt does not form an amorphous state (non-crystalline glass) as silicon does.
Why did emperor guangxus efforts at reform and modernization?
emperor guangxu's efforts to reform and modernize china failed because many qing officials saw these reforms as threats and placed guangxu under arrest effectively reversing his reforms.

When two prisms made of same material is placed side by side in same position and light is allowed to pass then what happens?
When white light passes through a prism it spreads to form a rainbow. If that "rainbow" light is then passed through a second prism it cannot recombine to reform white light.NO
Are crystals good for us?
nothing really, but i can tell you how they form. Answer: Crystals usually form from molten rock as the molten rock gradually cools. If the molten rock cools very rapidly, then either small crystals form or no crystals form. An example of this is when lava is ejected from a volcano. If molten rock cools slowly, then large crystals can form. This happens usually when the molten material is very deep in the Earth. Examples of these types of crystals are diamonds, emeralds, rubies, etc. Crystals can also form when water evaporates. For example, salt crystals (sodium chloride) form when salt water evaporates. The smooth faces of crystals are caused by a regular internal arrangement of atoms.
What is Macaulay's argument in favor of the Reform Bill of 1832 are they convincing?
Macaulay's argument in favor of the Reform Bill of 1832 that were really convincing was his argument in favour of parliamentary reform. Thank you very much, but what exactly is his argument. I'm reading over the Bill and just cannot understand what his argument actually is.
Can you vote on the healthcare reform?
Individuals cannot vote directly on US health care reform (actually health insurance reform). This is something Congress works on and only your Representatives and Senators have a direct vote. If you like or don't like what was done, you can let them know what you think. If you don't like what comes out of the process, you will have to opportunity to vote for someone else to represent you in the Congress.
