When salt is added to water, all of the following happens except? A. The salt breaks into positive chlorine ions and negative sodium icons B. the positive part of the water molecule is attracted to the negative ions C. The negative part of the water molecule is attracted to the positive ions D. The water molecules surround the dissociated ions

The salt breaks into positive chlorine ions and negative sodium icons

Explanation:

The question requested for the wrong option in the list. If we look at the option selected, we will notice that sodium ions are positively charged ions since sodium is a metal. Metals produce cations (positive ions) because they loose electrons. Therefore, a sodium ion can never be negatively charged.

Similarly, chlorine is a highly electronegative nonmetal. It gains electrons in an ionic bond. Hence chlorine ions can not be positive.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
