And so if we place the sodium chloride into water, that sodium chloride will separate, that ionic bond will break, but many of these hydrogen bonds will form, and that will be a favorable reaction. And so that's exactly why, if we take a polar molecule or a polar substance and place it into water, the water will be able to dissociate and dissolve that substance because of these hydrogen bonds. So, due to the high polarity of water and its ability to hydrogen bond, water can readily dissolve other polar substances. For instance, by adding sodium chloride into water, we break the ionic bond between sodium and the chloride, and we form many individual hydrogen bonds. And this is a very favorable reaction. For example, let's say we form 12345 of these hydrogen bonds between sodium and water, and we form all these bonds between chloride and water.
