Salt dissolve in water. That doesn't mean that a chemical change has

taken place however. A chemical change is where bonds are broken and NEW

BONDS FORM causing a rearrangement of atoms into new molecules. Dissolving

is a physical process where the substance retains its own physical

characteristics but just changes state or shape etc. When salt is put in

water, the sodium and chloride atoms are pulled apart by the water. They

disappear. But if the water is taken away, the sodium and chloride atoms

rejoin with each other.
