When salt dissolves in water, it dissociates into its constituent ions, primarily sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻). This process is a physical change where the ionic bonds in the salt are broken by the polar water molecules, allowing the ions to disperse throughout the solution. The resulting solution is an electrolyte, which can conduct electricity due to the presence of these free-moving ions.
