Best Answer

When a solid such as table salt is placed in a liquid that dissolves it (a solvent) such as water, it dissolves and passes into solution. When it is all dissolved there is no solid left, only the liquid salt solution. It is still solid while it is dissolving as the dissolution action can only take place at the surface of the solid. Removal of salt ions (sodium and chlorine atoms) from the solid exposes more solid underneath until all the solid is dissolved.
