Attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions OSS less than the attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions.
Strong Attraction
Due to the strong force of attraction existing between the ions in the molecule.
ionic bond
The attraction between ions creates ionic compounds. These compounds involve ions being bonded in a structure in a lattice-like structure.

The chemical bond formed is ionic.
Due to the strong force of attraction existing between the ions in the molecule.
The positive sodium ion and the negative chloride ion attract each other (opposite charges attract.) The attraction between ions is very strong and the result is ionic bond because of the strong attraction between these ions millions of them bond together forming crystals.

Sodium Chloride is a solid because it is an ionic compound and hence there is a very strong force of attraction between the ions. This strong force of attraction makes the ionic compounds hard and solid
The ionic bond is formed because it is a strong electrostatic attraction between sodium and chlorine ions.
