1 Water can dissolve salt because the positive part of water molecules attracts the negative chloride ions and the negative part of water molecules attracts the positive sodium ions. 2  The amount of a substance that can dissolve in a liquid (at a particular temperature) is called the solubility of the substance.
Why do ionic compounds dissolve in water? Ionic compounds are soluble in water because there are partial charges between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water, these partial charges attract the ions the solid compounds contain, and these makes it separate into different ions.
