What occurs in dissociation
a. solute ions separate from solvent molecules.
b. solvent molecules surround solute ions
c. solvent molecules bind covalently to solvent molecules
d. ionic compounds are formed

- B. Solvent molecules surround solute ions.

Explanations:- When an ionic solute that has positive and negative ions is dissolved in a solvent like water then the solute ions are surrounded by the water molecules in a way so that the highly electron negative oxygen atom of water is towards the positively charged ion of the solute and less electron negative which is hydrogen atom that has partial positive charge, surrounds the negatively charged ion of the solute.

Due to these forces made by the solvent molecules, the solute is broken into the ions and get dissolved in solvent.

Please mark brainliest. :)

the answer would be c

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
