Question

When sodium chloride, NaCl, is dissolved in water, the sodium and chloride ions move apart from one another. Why doesn't the sodium then react explosively with the water, like solid sodium metal does?

Answer 1

When sodium chloride, NaCl, is dissolved in water, the sodium and chloride ions are formed and they move apart from one another. The sodium ion that is formed does not react explosively with water because it is stable.

Hence,  it does not react with water...
