Ionic Solutes:Ions are atoms or molecules that have either received or lost an electron, creating a nett positive or negative charge. Ionic solutes are made up of these ions. ( Sodium nitrate, Potassium nitrate)
Polar Covalent Solutes:The charge distribution within polar covalent solutes is partially positive and partially negative due to the large difference in electronegativity between the atoms. (ethanol, ketones)
Nonpolar Covalent Solutes: Nonpolar covalent solutes are atom-shared compounds with identical electronegativity that provide an electron density that is largely uniform (fats, oils, waxes)
Gaseous Solutes:Substances in the gas phase that dissolve in a liquid or another gas are referred to be gaseous solutes. ( Carbon dioxide, ammonia)
Solid Solutes: Solid solutes can exist in a variety of shapes, including crystals, powders, and amorphous solids, and they can dissolve in a variety of liquids (sugar, copper)
Biomolecules:These solutes are essential to biological functions and frequently exhibit distinct solubility properties in various solvents. (lipids, proteins, carbohydrates)
