Hydration of ions in solution

Description
The Role of Water in Biological Processes

Hydration of ions in solution. A salt crystal is shown dissolving in water. As sodium and chloride ions leave the crystal, the noncovalent interaction between these ions and the dipolar water molecules produces a hydration shell around each ion. The energy released in this interaction helps overcome the charge–charge interactions stabilizing the crystal.
