* Dissolving: Sugar molecules break apart and become surrounded by water molecules. This process is called dissolving.
* Solution: The resulting mixture of sugar and water is called a solution.
* Homogeneous: Solutions are homogeneous mixtures, meaning the sugar is evenly distributed throughout the water and cannot be easily separated by physical means.
While the sugar was initially a solid, its individual molecules become dispersed in the liquid water, and the solution itself remains liquid.
