I will explain this using the example NaCl, which is just common salt.

When water is added to NaCl it dissolves until the solution is saturated. That is, where no more salt can be held in the current volume of water.

The H+ and OH- ions present in the water (H2O) bombard the ionic lattice structure of NaCl where each Na+ ion is electrostatically attracted to Cl- ions. The bombarding ions are the H+ ions just to clarify. This ruins the electro static attraction between the Na+ and the Cl- ions. Therefore they diffuse in the solution along with the H+ ions and the OH- ions. This is actually brine;sea water.

Which materials dissolve in water- hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

Hydrophilic materials dissolve in water because they are attracted to water molecules and can form bonds with them. Hydrophobic materials, on the other hand, do not dissolve in water because they are repelled by water and do not interact with water molecules.

Why does solid materials dissolved in liquid materials?

Materials dissolve in water due to its unique polarity. It contains an uneven distribution of its electrons, causing it to "look for" other elements to bond with. This makes it easy for materials to dissolve in water.

Are materials dissolve in water are hydrphobic or hidrophilic?

Materials that dissolve in water are typically hydrophilic, meaning they have an affinity for water. They are able to interact with water molecules and form stable solutions. Conversely, hydrophobic materials do not easily dissolve in water and tend to repel it.


Are materials that dissolve in water hydrophobic or hydrophobic?

'Phobic' means 'have fear' and 'philic' means 'love to', so you might deduce your answer to: materials 'loving water' will dissolve much better.
