Substances that are attached to or dissolved in water can be categorized in a few ways depending on their nature and interaction with water:
1. **Solutes**: These substances dissolve in water, forming a solution. Common examples include:
- **Salts** (like sodium chloride)
- **Sugars** (like glucose)
- **Acids** (like hydrochloric acid)
- **Bases** (like sodium hydroxide)
2. **Colloids**: These are mixtures where fine particles are dispersed in water, remaining suspended rather than fully dissolved. Examples include:
- Milk (fat globules in water)
- Fog (water droplets in air)
- Paints (pigments in water)
3. **Hydrated Ions**: When ionic compounds dissolve in water, they dissociate into ions and become surrounded by water molecules. For instance, sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻) become hydrated.
4. **Suspended Particles**: Some substances do not dissolve in water but may remain suspended, such as dirt or other particulate matter.
5. **Hydrophilic Molecules**: These are molecules that have an affinity for water and can form hydrogen bonds, such as sugars and some proteins.
