Answer:
Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together. After the salt compounds are pulled apart, the sodium and chloride atoms are surrounded by water molecules, as this diagram shows. Once this happens, the salt is dissolved, resulting in a homogeneous solution

The components of salt before mixing are sodium and chlorine.
Explanation:
- Salt consists of sodium and chlorine and it has the ionic compound sodium chloride.
- The symbol for sodium is Na and chlorine is Cl, hence the sodium chloride is denoted as NaCl.
- 2.6% of sodium chloride is present in seawater.
- The sodium chloride present in salt is oppositely charged.
- In NaCl, Na⁺ has positive charge and it is called as cation.
- Cl⁻ has negative charge and it is called as anion.
- Since, NaCl is oppositely charged, it gets attracted by electrical attraction.
