Solution

The correct option is E solvation
Solvation, also sometimes called dissolution, is the process of attraction and association of molecules of a solvent with molecules or ions of a solute.

As ions dissolve in a solvent they spread out and become surrounded by solvent molecules.

Solvation is the process of surrounding solute with solvent. It involves evening out a concentration gradient and evenly distributing the solute within the solvent.

Hence the correct option is E.

Q. Which is the interaction between the solute and the solvent molecules?

Q. Assertion (A): An ideal solution obeys Henry's law.
Reason (R): In an ideal solution, solute-solute as well as solvent-solvent interactions are similar to solute-solvent interaction.

For a solution to form positive deviation,the solute-solvent interactions must be less than solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions,making it easier for the molecules to escape in its pure form.still,why does the vapour pressure of the solution showing positive deviation increase compared to the pure form?
