Water is a solvent, because some solids will dissolve in it.
Water is called a solvent, because of the many things that dissolve in it.
No, not at all. In fact most solids are INsoluble. Some solids (such as metals, stones, wood) don't dissolve while other solids like sugar or salt do dissolve. Water is a polar molecule, therefore it can dissolve only polar substances and many ionic compounds. However, it cannot dissolve non-polar substances.
Not all the solids will dissolve in water. Different solids have different solubilities (some will dissolve more than others). The higher temperature, the more will dissolve
Some examples of solids that dissolve are sugar, salt, and baking soda. Solids dissolve when their molecules break apart and mix with the molecules of a solvent, such as water. This process occurs due to the attractive forces between the solute and solvent molecules.
it's all about the structure of the particles and the bonds if the chemical bond are mostly ionic they will dissolve to form freely moving ions and some structures of atoms are much stronger like metallic bonds. covalent bonds do not dissolve easily but some covalent bonds break and dissolve in water. It's all about the bond and structures of different elements.

The water would then be called a solvent
Water would be the solvent and the solid would be the solute.

No, not all solids dissolve. Solubility depends on the specific properties of the solid and the solvent it is being dissolved in. Some solids, like salt and sugar, readily dissolve in water, while others, like sand and silver, do not dissolve easily.
This phenomenon is called dissolution.
When solids are added to water, they can dissolve, creating a solution. Alternatively, the solids may remain suspended in the water as a suspension if they are insoluble. In some cases, chemical reactions may occur between the solids and water, leading to the formation of new substances.
