I frequently hear folks whine about not doing OW because open water is gross, dirty, scary, full of germs, etc.

When you pour Salt on water you don't split the molecule in Na and Cl...you just dissolve the salt in water and get salted water. If you want to split the molecule, you need a chemical reaction like electrolysis applied to molten Salt.
NaCL is an ionic bond. When its in solution, the positive Na ions and negative Cl ions actually do mill about on their own. That's why saltwater is a better conductor of electricity than fresh water.
