|+ A Summary of How Solutes Dissolve in Solvents
|-
! SOLUTE PHASE !! REQUIREMENTS FOR DISSOLVING
|-
| SOLID || The solvent [[molecule]]s must be attracted to the solute molecules so strongly that the solvent molecules can get in between the solute molecules (or ions) and pull them far apart from each other.
|-
| LIQUID || The solvent molecules need only be attracted to the solute molecules a little, because the solvent does not need to separate the solute molecules very much. The solvent merely needs to get in between the solute molecules.
|-
| GAS || The solvent molecules must be attracted to the solute molecules enough to pull the solute molecules closer to one another.
