So even though we break that sodium chloride bond, we form many of these hydrogen bonds, and that is overall a favorable reaction. So notice that because the sodium loses that electron it gains a full positive charge. And so all these oxygen atoms of the water molecules orient themselves in a line in such a way so that the oxygen is in close proximity with the sodium. And if we examine the chloride, because the chloride gained that electron it took away from the sodium, it has a full negative charge. And so now all the h atoms will orient themselves and will become very close with that chloride and that will form all these stabilizing hydrogen bonds. Now, we know that polar dissolves polar as a result of this.
