Which of the following statements about the formation of a solution is true?

In the formation of a solution, energy is required to overcome the forces of attraction between the solvent particles. The first step is for the solvent particles to move in order for solute particles to enter the system. This process is endothermic where energy flows into the system. The second step is when solute particles must separate from other solute particles. Lastly, the solute should move between solvent particles.

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
