When does dissolving occur? it would help if you put in a diagram to s I'd understand more.

Let's try to go a little further, shall we?pheidippides said:Solvent:...Solute:...Result:

i could keep going, but i think that's what you were looking for.
Dissolving is the process in which a solid substance, known as the solute, is mixed into a liquid substance, known as the solvent, until it becomes a homogeneous mixture.
Dissolving occurs when the solute particles are able to separate from each other and mix with the solvent particles, creating a solution. This typically happens when the solute particles are small enough to fit between the solvent particles.
The rate of dissolving can be affected by several factors including temperature, surface area, and agitation. Higher temperatures, larger surface areas, and increased agitation can all speed up the dissolving process.
Dissolving is the process of a solid substance mixing with a liquid substance, while melting is the process of a solid substance changing into a liquid state. Dissolving does not involve a change in the chemical composition of the substances, while melting does.
No, not all substances can dissolve in water. Substances that are polar or ionic, meaning they have a charge, are more likely to dissolve in water. Nonpolar substances, such as oils, do not dissolve in water. Additionally, some substances are insoluble in water, meaning they will not dissolve at all.
