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

Wood is. Wood comes from trees which can be grown again. Coal and oil come from fossils of dead animals and plants and take so long to form we consider them non renewable. And iron is found in ores and we will one day run out of them as well.
