(more than one answer can be choosen )
which actions are part of the dissolution process of an ionic solute in water?
1. the ions are pushed together to form molecules.
2. each ion is surrounded by water molecules.
3. the water molecules attract some ions and repel others.
4. the ions in the solute separate from each other.
5. the water molecules break apart into ions.

When ionic solutes are dissolved in water, the molecules of water pull the ions of the crystal apart and the electrostatic forces are cut off. Further the ions are surrounded by the water molecules which act as a barrier around the ions and prevent the recombination of ions.

Sorry, this isn't my answer. I got it from google, but I hope it helps!

a compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.

a. by the combination of an unlimited number of elements
