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. When all of the solute is dissolved it becomes a solution which usually appears to be clear.

Because when the particles (of the solute, which dissolves in the solvent) mix what ends up happening is they start colliding with whatever your solvent is (a common one used is h2o or nitrogen) and the particles mix together dissolving your solute.

Dissolution refers to a process whereby a solute dissolves in a solvent. Hygroscopic substances dissolve by absorbing moisture from the air. Salt is one example of the hygroscopic substances.
