Answer:
solute
In chemistry, a solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.
solute-solvent interaction
Dipole-induced dipole interactions are invoked when a non-polar molecule dissolves in a polar or a dipolar solvent. The assumption is that the solute dissolves because the forces of attraction between the solvent and the solute are stronger than the intermolecular forces holding the non-polar solute molecule together.
