does not separate into ions

Answer 1

When NaCl (salt) is added to water, the following statements apply:

• Most likely will conduct electricity: True. When NaCl dissolves in water, it dissociates into its constituent ions (Na⁺ and Cl⁻), allowing the solution to conduct electricity.

• Separates into ions: True. NaCl dissociates into sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻) when it dissolves in water.

The other options are not correct:

• Displays covalent molecule properties: False. NaCl is an ionic compound and does not exhibit covalent molecule properties.

• Does not separate into ions: False. NaCl does separate into ions when it dissolves in water.

So, the correct responses are "most likely will conduct electricity" and "separates into ions."
