Alice added sodium chloride to water and stirred the water for several minutes. Alice is most likely trying to demonstrate that ionic compounds 1. are hard 2. can dissolve 3. are clear 4. can melt

Respuesta :

can dissolve is the answer 

Answer is: 2. can dissolve.

Ionic compounds separates into particles (ions) in water because of their ionic bond.

For example sodium chloride is ionic compound and strong electrolyte and dissociates in water on hydrated sodium cations and chlorine anions:

NaCl(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

Ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions).
