A solute will dissolve in a solvent when the attractive intermolecular forces between the molecules of the solvent and the molecules of the solute are greater than the attractive forces between one solute molecule and another. Thus the solute is effectively 'pulled apart' (on a molecular level at least) by the solvent and it's molecules become 'suspended' between the molecules of the solvent at which point the solute is said to be in solution or dissolved.
