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.

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

            and  

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.  

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
