With so many restrictions I don't know but here goes.
1. NaCl is an ionic compound. When placed in water the negative oxygen end the positive H end of water is strong enough break the crystal lattice forces of the ionic NaCl so solution takes place.
2. Egg shells don't dissolve in water because the shell is not an ionic compound.
Thank you!!
1.Explain (not describe) the solubility behavior of table salt in water.
2. Explain (not describe) the behavior of eggshell in water. Do not simply say “it dissolved” (that would be describing), explain why it dissolved.
Do not use the polar/nonpolar” reasoning here. Use the solubility rules of ionic compounds.
