Detailed explanation-1: -(a) When a solid is added to a solvent in which it is soluble, solute particles leave the surface of the solid and become solvated by the solvent, initially forming an unsaturated solution.
Detailed explanation-2: -A solute will not dissolve if the solute-solvent forces of attraction are weaker than individual solute and solvent intermolecular attractions. Generally, if all three of the intermolecular forces of attraction are roughly equal, the substances will be soluble in each other. LIKES DISSOLVE LIKES.
Detailed explanation-3: -A suspension is a mixture between a liquid and particles of a solid. In this case the particles do not dissolve. The particles and the liquid are mixed up so that the particles are dispersed throughout the liquid. They are “suspended” in the liquid.
