RossSolvated refers to the process of surrounding, dispersing, or dissolving a solute in a solvent. This results in the formation of a solution where the solute is evenly distributed throughout the solvent. Solvation occurs due to the interactions between the solute and solvent molecules.

What is it called when a compound cannot be solvated?
When a compound cannot be solvated, it is referred to as insoluble. This means the compound does not dissolve in a particular solvent under specified conditions.
How easily a substance can dissolve into a liquid?
Its solubility. I.e. its ability to be solvated by a solvent
Why amonia solution of alkali metals are blue in clour?
The blue color of alkali metal solutions is due to the formation of solvated electrons. When alkali metals dissolve in ammonia, they lose an electron to form free electrons that react with the solvent (ammonia) to create a blue color. This phenomenon is known as the formation of solvated electrons and is responsible for the blue color of the solution.
What is a lyophillic solution?
A lyophillic solution is a type of colloidal solution where the dispersed particles are strongly solvated; in this case the solution is more stable.
What type of bond holds the electrolytes in the body together?
Electrolytes in the body are generally found in solution. Electrolytes are ions (such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride). These ions are solvated by water molecules and the solvated ions are free to move within the solvent. In this sense they are not held together. Some ions are present in solid structures in the body and these are held in place by ionic bonds. Ionic bonds are electrostatic in nature and are caused by the electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charge.
