Question

(A) For example, table salt contains chlorine atoms, yet it doesn’t kill us if we consume it (well, at least in moderation!). Describe the chemical properties of table salt (NaCl). As you construct your response, try putting some table salt in a cup of water, and then try putting some into a cup of vegetable or cooking oil. Stir them both. What's the difference in terms of what you notice? How does this demonstrate the properties you explain? Be sure to answer all of these questions in detail to receive credit.
When you put salt into water it dissolves because of the polarity, this makes salt

Answer 1

When you put salt into water it dissolves because of the polarity, this makes salt strongly attracted to water. There will be very little energy change when salt dissolves into water. Oil is nonpolar so there is very little attraction for NaCl.

Answer 2

Does that make sense as an answer ^^@abb0t

Answer 3

Table salt contains Chloride ions, not atoms.
Ions of salt forms ion-dipole bonds with water molecules.

Oil can form only weak bonds (dispersion forces) with
water molecules and that is why it
Is not soluble in water

Answer 4

atomic properties completely change ten the molecular properties :)
different molecules show different properties though they contain the same atoms in different proportions :)

Answer 5

NaCl is an Ionic molecule. It Cannot Conduct electricity unless it is molten but is soluble in water. This is true because NaCl is polar and is attracted to the Delta Negative on the oxygen atom
