Here's a breakdown:

* Solute: The substance that dissolves in a liquid.

* Solvent: The liquid in which the solute dissolves.

* Solution: The homogeneous mixture formed when the solute dissolves in the solvent.

Examples:

* Sugar dissolving in water (sugar is the solute, water is the solvent)

* Salt dissolving in water (salt is the solute, water is the solvent)

* Coffee grounds dissolving in hot water (coffee grounds are the solute, hot water is the solvent)
