    Hey there!

    The answer you are looking for

    is polarity

    Hydrogen (even though has one electron is positive)

    Oxygen is negative (needs two to complete)

    due to the oxygen hydrogen now experiences electronegativity

    the need to want to bond

    but ordinarily

    Hydrogen wants to lose

    but it is with this special scenario where if a compound like salt is in place

    the Hydrogen dissolves the Chlorine and Oxygen to the Sodium

    So its all polarity
