Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound/polar, which means that the Sodium atom and the Chlorine atom are bound together by Coulombic(electrostatic forces) attraction. Water is a polar molecule due to the dipole moment that is present within it, that is the directionality of the dipole is towards the Oxygen atoms. Since water is a polar solvent and sodium chloride is a polar solute, the water can dissolve the NaCl. Remember "like dissolves like" =]
