What occurs in solvation a. ioninc compounds b. solvent molecules surround solute ions c. solute ions separate from solvent molecules d. solvent molecules bind covalently to soluble molecules

- 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.

B. Solvent molecules surround solute ions

according to kinetic-molecular theory, the following would not be considered an ideal gas:

a gas at very low volumes, when gas particles are very close together

a gas at very low temperatures, when gas particles have very little kinetic energy a gas

a gas with highly polar molecules that have very strong intermolecular forces
