In water, which is a polar molecule, ions care surounded by water molecules depending on the charge of the ion. Positive ions form eletrostatic interactions with the oxygen in water and negative ions, with the hydrogens.

Polar molecules are easily dissolved in water because they form hydrogen bonds, sort of the same principle behind the interactions that happen between ions and water molecules.

What do you get when NaNH2 is dissolved in an alcohol?

When NaNH2 is dissolved in an alcohol, it acts as a strong base that can deprotonate the alcohol molecule on its α-carbon, forming an alkoxide ion. This alkoxide ion can undergo further reactions like nucleophilic substitution or elimination reactions.
