If I remember right, the crystalline structure of the salt breaks down, and the Na and Cl ions move freely in the water, dissolving into the water.
Since the salt breaks down into free ions, that explains why salt water is such a good electrical conductor.

the Salt when dissolved in water the crystall lattice of the ions is broken and all the ions of salt dessociates. being specific with table salt i.e. NaCl it too follows the same rules

Table salt (NaCl) when put into water dissolves into its ions, Na+ and Cl-. Due to the salt dissolving, the Na+ ions and the Cl- ions can react with other substances by chemical reactions.

The water breaks the salt bonds forming aqueous solution.....salt water

the salt splits to its ion pairs which are solvated by the water. remember water is ampheteric so it has acid and base like properties. the negative ion is surrounded by the H of H2O while the positive is surrounded by the O of H2O. it's kinda like a giant soap bubble...
