The negative (oxygen) end of water is attracted to the positive sodium ion in the salt, extracts it from the lattice and more water molecules surround it (i.e. dissolve it). The same is true for the positive (hydrogen) end of water and the negative chloride ion in the salt.
According to nitrogen's electron configuration table, an atom of nitrogen contains two electrons in its first energy level (both in the s sub-shell) and five electrons in its second energy level (two in the s sub-shell and three in the p sub-shell). A more accurate Bohr model of a nitrogen atom could look like this: In the refined Bohr model, a nitrogen atom has a central nucleus, composed of seven protons and seven neutrons, surrounded by seven electrons.
Bohr model. 1  The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom (Z = 1) or a hydrogen-like ion (Z > 1), where the negatively- charged electron confined to an atomic shell encircles a small, positively charged atomic nucleus and where an electron jumps between orbits it is accompanied by an emitted or absorbed amount of electromagnetic energy (hÎ½).
