Define dissociation. Use a diagram to explain why NaCl(s) will dissociate when placed in water.
How do I draw the diagram?

We can draw diagrams on this site. Solid NaCl dissolves in water because the polar water molecules are attracted to the Na^+ and Cl^- and that attractions is enough to break the Na-Cl bond. Google this and you will get some good diagrams and explanations to explain just what is happening.
oops! We CAN'T (not can) draw diagrams in this site.
