Solute molecules can be positively charged, negatively charged, or neutral. For example, dissolving sodium chloride in water produces positively charged sodium cations and negatively charged chloride anions. Dissolving sucrose (table sugar) in water produces only dissolved neutral sucrose molecules.

What is a hydration shell?

When a solute is being dissolved in an aqueous (water) solution the partially positive H atoms surround the solute (forming a shell) and attach to make bonds with the atoms of the solute, breaking them apart and making them part of the solution.


Is solute molecule negatively charged in water?

Not necessarily. Solute molecules can be neutral, positively charged, or negatively charged in water. The charge of the solute molecule depends on its chemical structure and the presence of any functional groups that can interact with water molecules.


What happens when the molecule-to-molecule attractions in the solute are comparable to those in the solvent?

The result of the molecule to molecule is the solute will have an infinite solubility in the solvent.AfricaHumor.com


What are spheres of hydration?

When solutes are dissolved in water, many water molecules cluster areound each solute molecule(attracted by polarity) This keeps the solute dispersed in the fluid. The water molecules in these "spheres" are tied up and not free to cross a water permeable membrane.


What is the smallest substance in a solution in chemistry?

This is a molecule of solute or a molecule of solvent.


What is a solute particle that is surrounded by solvent molecules is said to be?

The solute particle is said to be dissolved in the solvent.


The attachment of water molecules to particles of a solute?

Water contains hydrogen bonding that cause a permanent polarity of the molecule. When a solid or other liquid is added to water the molecules of water orientate themselves so that the polar ends are breaking apart the bonds that are currently in the added compound. This is also known as Ionization of a solid into an aqueous solution.


Is a molecule a substance or a solute?

It could be either.


What is a solute molecule?

The solute is the substance that dissolves in a solvent to form a solution.


How the solution is form in the molecular level?

In a solution, the solute particles (e.g. sugar) are surrounded by solvent molecules (e.g. water) due to intermolecular forces. These solvent molecules form a hydration shell around each solute particle, pulling them apart and dispersing them throughout the solvent. This process occurs at a molecular level to create a homogenous mixture.


When a solution forms particles of a solute and becomes surrounded by particles of the solvent?

When this solute is dissociated and the intermolecular bonds being weakened.
