The Na is pulled apart from the Cl by the water molecules. The Oxygen part of the water (negative) is attracted to the positive Na, while the Hydrogen part of H20 is attracted to the Cl-. The water molecules pull the salt apart creating Na+ and Cl- ions.

∙ 13y agoNormally, common table salt will not make water explode or explode in water. However, if the water in question is distilled and heated to a super high temperature without boiling and then salt is added to this super heated water, then you will find that the reaction is instant boiling and what could amount to an explosion. Nothing that will destroy your house or the room this is taking place in, but you will scald yourself.
