The solute particle is said to be dissolved in the solvent.
The term for a cluster of solvent molecules surrounding a solute particle in solution is called a solvation shell. Solvation is the process in which solvent molecules surround and interact with solute particles, stabilizing them in the solution. The solvation shell is crucial for the dissolution and transport of solute particles in a solvent.
The solubility of a solute is the largest amount of solute that can dissolve in a certain quantity of solvent at a specific temperature and pressure. It is often expressed in grams of solute per 100 grams of solvent. When the amount of solute added exceeds its solubility, it forms a saturated solution where any excess solute will precipitate out.
Smaller particle size increases the rate of dissolution as it increases the surface area available for interaction between the solute and the solvent. This allows for more solute-solvent interactions to occur simultaneously, speeding up the dissolution process.
For the amount of material in the particle the surface area of a small particle is greater than a larger particle. Said another way, the surface area per unit volume is greater for a smaller particle. Dissolving speed is related to the surface area. Therefore a smaller particle dissolves faster than a larger particle.

It exposes more of the solute to the water molecules
It exposes more of the solute surface to the water molecules.
It exposes more of the solute surface to the water molecules.
Under some circumstances it is possible to dissolve more of a solute into a solution than the nominal solubility of that solute would allow. A saturated solution is one that contains all the solute that will normally dissolve, and a supersaturated solution contains even more of that solute. If the solution is disturbed in some way (the appearance of a nucleating particle, stirring, etc.) then the excess solute will precipitate from the solution, or in the case of a gas, will bubble out of the solution.
