Water is a polar molecule. Therefore, it has two charge centres. The oxygen is more electronegative than the hydrogen so it is more negative than the hydrogen. Water is a good solvent to support any solute that has positive and negative charged areas. Salts by definition are ionic - positive and negative ions. Sodium chloride, NaCl is common table salt consisting of positive Na+ ion and negative Cl- ion. Water will be able to dissolve it. Sugar is a bit more complicated. It has many oxygen to hydrogen bonds exactly like water. These oxygen to hydrogen bonds form a positive hydrogen end and a negative oxygen end just like water. Therefore, sugar dissolves well in water due to the similarity of polar bonds.

How does a particle theory explain how a solute dissolves into a solvent?
You can use the particle theory to help explain what happens when solutes dissolve. The particle theory states that there are spaces between all particles. This means that, in a sample of water, there are many water particles, but also many empty spaces. When you look at sugar. The sugar dissolves, the sugar particles separate and mix with the water particles.
