I felt bad for the interviewer at first, until the guy really got into his explanation. He wasn’t being a dick, he was just saying “why” is a really deep question.
because salt and water happen to be composed in such a way that they fit together nicely, and salt attracts the water in a similar way to a magnet. The positive and negative charges of the salt ions (Sodium+, Chloride–) fit into and attract the opposite charges of the water ions (Hydrogen–, Oxygen+).
Real worried we’re going to enter a Richard Feynman level why spiral

Yeah he does start out a bit blunt thankfully it had a point.
