Solutions terminology
« on: February 08, 2018, 02:27:22 PM »
I have a question about terminology related to solutions. For example, if sodium chloride is dissolved in water, water is the solvent, sodium chloride is the solute and the sodium chloride solution is the solution. However, is there a name for the Na+ and Cl- ions in the solution? I mean something that refers to the fact that they are the result of dissolution, they are not just ions.

I would call them solvated ions.

Thank you very much, that's exactly what I was after.
