Sodium chloride (NaCl) breaks down through the process of dissociation rather than chemical breakdown. When NaCl is dissolved in water, the ionic bonds between sodium (Na⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions are disrupted by the polar water molecules. This causes the Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions to separate and disperse throughout the solution, allowing them to interact freely with water molecules.
