To put it simply, the solid is pulled apart by the liquid into its simplest form - molecules or ions. These mix up with the particles of the solvent. For example, when dissolving sugar into water, the sugar crystals "break apart" one molecule at a time. We see this as the sugar crystals shrinking and then disappearing. In fact, they have not disappeared at all - they're just too small to see. In the case of an ionic compound, like salt, the ions are pulled apart by the liquid and float freely in the liquid. Since ions are charged particles, they allow the liquid to conduct electricity.
Sometimes an alloy or a glass is formed.
The solid that dissolves is called a solute.
When a soluble solid is added to water, it dissolves to create a solution. The particles of the solid separate and disperse throughout the water, forming a homogeneous mixture. This process is known as dissolution.
This solid is called a solute.

My best guess is that the particles weaken.
Well in most cases the material will sink.
The solid that dissolves is called a solute.
The liquid that dissolves a solid is called the "Solvent".
Decreasing temperature would not increase the rate at which a solid dissolves

When a solid dissolves, its particles break apart and disperse uniformly in the solvent. This results in the solid disappearing and forming a clear solution.
