An ionic compound is composed of many ions held together by electrostatic forces.
These electrostatic forces are approximately 80 times smaller in water as compared to air. So, the link is weakened the ions dissociate and are soluble in water .

Many people are confused by this. I often see in this forum of Y!A strange claims being made for double displacement reactions that are supposed to have taken place, but which actually do not occur. At least one of three conditions must take place for a double displacement reaction to have occured: 1) an insoluble precipitate must occur. 2) A gas must be liberated 3) a poorly ionisable product must be formed - this is classically water. In your work you: Saw no precipitate No gas was evolved From your balanced equations, no water was produced. Therefore you can be sure that a double displacement reaction did not occur. You are quite correct to say that no reaction occured and that you had a mixture of cationic and anionic ions in the solution.

Sodium nitrate consists of two oppositely charged ions those are anion and cathion. Anion is a negatively charged ion while cathion is a positively charged ion.
In this case,cation is Na+ and anion is NO3- .These opposite charged ions are attracted together due electrostatic force existed between different charges.In its molecular structure, Na+ is arranged alternately with NO3- in lattice structure
Water is a polar molecule. How to prove tha water is a polar molecule? Water brings two opposite charged those are H+ and OH-..
One of factors of solubility is solute-solvent interaction.In this interaction,polar solute/liquid tends to dissolve in polar solvent. Since NaCl and water are polar molecules,therefore NaCl is soluble in water. H+ ion in water is attached to NO3- and Na+ is attached to OH-.
That's why sodium nitrate is soluble in water.
Good luck,,

Because ALL metallic nitrates are soluble in water.
