Which actions are part of the dissolution process of an iconic solute in water?

Answer is: The ions in the solute separate from each other.

For example, dissociation of potassium iodide in water:  

KI(aq) → K⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq).

Solvation is the interaction of solvent (water) with molecules or ions (in this example K⁺ and I⁻) in a solute.  

Anion I⁻ has negative charge, so positive end (hydrogen atoms) of a water molecul attracts them.

explanation:

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
