No, salt does not evaporate in boiling water. When water boils, the water molecules gain enough energy to break their bonds with each other and turn into water vapor. Salt, or sodium chloride (NaCl), is a compound made up of sodium and chloride ions. These ions are held together by ionic bonds, which are much stronger than the hydrogen bonds between water molecules. As a result, salt does not evaporate in boiling water. Instead, it remains dissolved in the water.
