This can be better understood when thinking about the states of matter.
Salt (NaCl) has a very high melting point of 801 C (1474 F).
In order for salt to turn from a solid to a liquid, it requires temperatures of greater than 800 C.
For a compound to form a gaseous phase, it needs to vaporize (boil).
The boiling point for salt is ridiculously high, 1413 C (2575 F).
Distillation temperatures for salt water are usually around 100 C, the boiling point of water. At these temperatures salt will not even melt, let alone vaporize.

Why don't the salt particles make a gas during distillation?
You would have to heat the salt particles to 1413 oC in order to boil the salt (sodium chloride) and change it to the gaseous state.
What career uses the process of distillation?
how distillation helps make whisky
How you make pure samples of xenon?
Fractional distillation of air.
Why would you use distillation?
Distillation is a method used to separate the components of a liquid, or increase the purity of a liquid. For example, one can generally make highly pure water through distillation. Alcohols can also be concentrated with distillation which is used to make hard alcohols. One should note, however, that there are often contaminants that co-distill... so for example distilled spirits are rarely pure. Potentially heat-stable solids could also be distilled in some cases. Also see fractional distillation and reflux distillation.
Which is true about particles that make up solid matter?
The same particles of matter that make up a solid are also the same particles of matter that make up a gas or a liquid. Basically matter consists of atoms. At the simplest level, the particles of atoms are electrons, protons and neutrons.

How do the particles that make up matter compare during physical and chemical changes?
The particles that make up matter are unchanged during physical, or chemical changes. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed.
What can you say about steam distillation?
It's the only way to make water completely pure. Distillation removes all impurities in water.
HELP this is really bugging you as you dont make any noise during sex i make the odd noise when it hurts it feels good but I just cant moan I only moan when i come but i havent come during sex yet?
i dont think you should be sharing about what sound you make during sex cause i dont think any one cares you dont have to make a sound when having sex if u injoy then that is what matters u dont have make sound to show u injoy something.
How do you make naptha?
Naphta is a distillation residue in petrochemical industry.
What process is used to make kerosene?
Fractional Distillation from petroleum
How do you make mineral turpentine oil?
by distillation of crude and its derivates
How do you make neutral ethanol?
The method is distillation and if necessary dehydration.

How do you make pure water from salty water?
through distillation or filtering
