![]() Organics such as sugar & starch, will also dissolved and form solutions that typically will not ionize. These ions carry either a positive or negative electrical charge, and will hereby be referred to as cations, if they carry a positive charge and anions if they carry a negative charge. The salt ions are still present, but they now exist in a liquid phase as part of the solution and are now referred to as dissolved ions. ![]() When a particle of salt contacts water, the salt dissolves and spreads throughout the water until the salt as a solid no longer exists. Solutions form when a solute material, such as salt (sodium chloride), becomes dissolved in a solvent, such as water. Mixtures containing dissolved solids are commonly called solutions. When water comes into contact with substances they either become dissolved solids, such as minerals, gases and organic compounds or they become suspended solids such as clay, silt, and microorganisms. Many substances will readily combine with water. Water exists in nature as a pure substance, but typically not in pure form.
