The particles in the solid (solute) break apart and form links with the particles in the liquid (solvent).

There are strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solute. These forces keep the particles together and make the solute a solid because they attract the solute particles tightly together.

There are also strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solvent. These forces keep the particles together and make the solvent a liquid because they attract the solvent particles slightly together.

There is also an attractive force between the solute and solvent particles.

To break these forces and from a bond between the solute and solvent particles energy is needed. This energy is gained from heat (the process of dissolving is speeded up through heat.)

In conclusion, the particles in a solute break apart of their attractive forces and form bonds with the solvent particles through the attraction between the solute and solvent particles and through the energy gained by heat.

My best guess is that the particles weaken.


What happens chalk gets dissolved?

When chalk is dissolved, the solid particles of chalk break down and disperse into the liquid it is dissolved in. This results in a homogeneous mixture where the chalk particles are spread out evenly throughout the liquid.


Where does a dissolved solid go?

When a solid dissolves in a liquid, the individual particles of the solid separate and disperse throughout the liquid. These dissolved particles become evenly distributed in the solvent, forming a homogeneous mixture.

How are the dissolved particles of a molecular solid such as sugar different from the dissolved particles of an ionic solid such as table salt?

The components of ionic solids are held together by ionic bonds and when dissolved in a polar solvent (like water) they will dissociate into ions. For example, salt (NaCl) dissolves into Na+ and Cl-. A molecular solid like sugar, however, is held together by stronger covalent bonds and will remain the in the solvent as a whole molecule.


A solid dissolved in a solid?

When a solid is dissolved in another solid, it means that one solid substance is mixed with another solid substance to form a homogeneous mixture. The particles of the dissolved solid are evenly distributed throughout the solid solvent. This process is similar to dissolving a solute in a liquid solvent, but it occurs with solids instead.
