A greater attraction

Explanation:

Water molecules have A GREATER ATTRACTION for sodium and chloride ions than sodium and chloride ions have to each other.

This is because when salt is added to water, it dissolves, which depicts the level of the covalent bond of water is stronger by separating the ionic bond between sodium and chloride, otherwise, the salt would not have been able to dissolve.
