Chma10h3 - introductory to chemistry i: structure and bonding lecture 14: ionization. In the case of water as a solvent, we use the term aquation or hydration: the ion surrounding by water molecules is called an aquated ion or a hydrates ion. Dissolving molecular substances: the driving force for dissolution of molecular substances is entropy a natural tendency for the molecules to achieve a more probable distribution. Ionization of molecular solutes: aqueous solutions of some molecular substances conduct electricity (electrolytes), this is due to the breaking of a bond in a molecule and formation of ions called ionization. In some cases, only a fraction of molecules is ionized (creating a weak electrolyte).
