Draw several (5 or 6) individual, unbonded water molecules. Simulate what happens when table salt (Na+Cl-) is added to water. Use the model you created to explain why salt is added to the roads in a "snowy," cold climate.
What will be an ideal response?
There is an attraction of positively charged sodium ions to the partially negative oxygen in water. The negatively charged chloride ions are attracted to the partially positively charged hydrogen atoms in water molecules.
The presence of the sodium and chloride ions interferes with hydrogen bonding between water molecules and thus depresses the freezing point of water. This lowers the temperature at which ice will form on the roads.
