Answer:
ionic solute surrounded by polar solvent
Step-by-step explanation:
In the process of solvation the polar solute ions are surrounded by the polar dipoles of the solvent molecule. For example when NaCl dissolves in water the Na⁺ cation is surrounded by the partially negatively charged O atoms of water molecules. Similarly, Cl⁻ anion is surrounded by the partially positively charged H atoms of water molecules.
