dissociation
When ionic compounds dissolve in water they dissociate — the ionic lattice breaks apart and the constituent cations and anions separate. (Hydration then surrounds those ions; "ionization" usually refers to forming ions from neutral molecules, and "electrolyte" is a substance that produces ions and conducts electricity.)
