Why does nacl readily dissolve in water but not in tetrachloromethane?

NaCl dissolves in water because it is an ionic compound. Because of this, when the compound is broken down into ions, the polarity of the water molecules attracts the broken down ions. This allows for the Na+ and Cl- ions to dissolve in the water. NaCl does not dissolve in benzene because benzene is a nonpolar molecule. Because it is nonpolar, the broken down ions will not be attracted to benzene.
