When NaCI is added in water it dissolves readily because the attractive interaction between the ions of NaCI and polar molecules of water are strong enough to overcome the attractive forces between Na' and CI- ions in solid NaC1 crystal. In this process the positive end of the water dipole is oriented towards the CF ions and the negative end of water dipole is orwater molecules are so strong that they pull these ions from their positions in the the Na- ions. These ion dipole attractions between Na+ ions and water molecules, Cl- ions and water molecules are so strong that they pull these ions from their positions in the crystal and thus NaCl dissloves
