   In water, sodium and chloride ions are solvated. I don't think ionic   
   bond between sodium and chloride ions is possible in water unless salt   
   starts to crystallize out of water. But then, that's ionic bond in   
   sodium chloride crystal, not in water.   
      
   Also, the title is against Raoult's law.
