✌✌Hey, mate here is your answer⤵
Aqueous solutions mean that the atom is in water, or H2O.
H2O is a polar molecule.
This means that one side (the oxygen side) is more negative.
The other side (the hydrogen side) is more positive.
So, when an soluble solid such as salt (NaCl) is dissolved in water, it breaks into its ions:
Na+ Cl-.
These ions are surrounded by water molecules. The positive charge on the sodium ion attracts the oxygen side of the water molecules and vise versa for the Cl- ion.
So we have an Na+ ion surrounded by water molecules pointing their oxygen's at it.
This is called solvation.
When the atom is not charged, it is not soluble (since it isn't attracted to the polar H2O molecules).
