When NaCl is dissolved in water, then due to the high dielectric constant of water, water dissosciates the NaCl molecule into Na
+
ions and Cl
−
ions. Each Na
+
ion and Cl
−
ion is surrounded by multiple water molecules. This process is called as hydration of NaCl. Thus, Na
+
ion is said to be hydrated.
