Dissolving takes place when you are trying to make a solution out a mechanical mixture by adding a solute (something that gets dissolved) and a solvent (something that does the dissolving) together and when there is enough solvent to dissolve the all of the solute.

if a lump ofsugaris dropped into a glass ofwaterit graduallydisappears.....Dissolving sugar in water is a physical change. You can tell this because if you were to dissolve the sugar in water and then let the water evaporate, the sugar would still be left. All of the components that you started with are still there, even if you can't see them.
