Solute particles must be attracted to solvent particles because they are opposites, and as everyone knows opposites always attract.

What is the difference between a solute and solvent?
In a solution, the particles which are present in larger quantity are called solvent and the particles which are present in smaller quantity are called solute. For example, in aqueous NaCl solution: NaCl is the solute particle and H2O is the solvent.
What is the dissolved particles in the solutions?
Solvent
What is used to recover dissolved solid particles from the solution by evaporating the solvent?
distilation
List three factors that determine the rate of formation of a solution?
- temperature - pressure - stirring - the granulation of the solute - the nature of the solvent - the addition of other substances - the volume of the solvent (and the ratio solute/solvent) - etc.
Do all solid particles dissolve in water explain your answer?
Water acts as a solvent. Solvents are "dissolvers". Water acts as a solvent. Solvents are "dissolvers".
What happens to the particles of a solute when a solution form?
The particles of solute dissolve in the solvent when the solution forms.
Why do solute particles have to be mixed with solvent particles in order to create a solution?
What are solute particles
How do solute and solvent particles fit together?
When they both are attracted to each other then the particles fit together
What are particle solutions?
Solute particles are the particles of solid material that are being placed into a solvent. A solute dissolved in a solvent makes a solution.
When solid is dissolved in a liquid?
When a solid is dissolved in a liquid, the liquid is said to be the solvent and the solid is to be the solute. The liquid that you get after dissolving the solid into the liquid is called the solution. When a solute dissolves, the solvent particles attract the particles of the solute away which breaks the cluster of particles apart. After dissolving enough amount that the solvent cannot dissolve more, the solution is said to be saturated. It is the state when the solution cannot dissolve anymore solute. The opposite of solution is suspension. A suspension is when the solute cannot be dissolved (that is, it is insoluble) into the solvent and stays suspended in the solvent. A suspension is translucent and the suspended particles can be easily seen. While, in a solution, the particles are soluble and complete dissolve into the solvent. A solution is transparent and the particles are too small to be seen through naked eyes.

What is a suspention?
A suspention is a solution where the particles of the solvent(liquid) are a different size to the particles of the solute(Solid).
When forces attracting solvent particles to each other are broken what is provided for a solution?
space for the solute in the solvent
What is the dissolved particles in the solutions?
Solvent
How is a suspension different from a solution?
The particles are bigger in a suspension, and the solute is not dissolved in the solvent but is dissolved in a solution suspension example- sand in water, sand is the solute and water is the solvent solution example- sugar in water, sugar is the solute and water is the solvent
What happens to particles of a solute when they dissolve?
When a solution forms, particles of the solute leave each other.
What Dissolves particles allowing them to enter a solution?
A solvent is the liquid medium that dissolves particles so they can enter a solution. This is necessary in the processes of diffusion and osmosis.
