When you add table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) to water, the salt dissolves into ions, Na+ and Cl-. The volume increases by a small factor, but the mass increases by a bigger factor. Therefore salt is much denser than water because its ions have more mass than the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in the water molecules. The addition of salt to water makes a solution that is denser than fresh water.
