Solution

The correct options are:

  1. Some of the hydrogen bonds and London dispersion forces between the water molecules break.
  2. Ionic bonds in the solute break.
  3. Ion-dipole forces form between ions and water molecules.

Explanation:

When an ionic compound dissolves in water, the water molecules surround the individual ions and separate them from each other. This process involves breaking the ionic bonds in the solute and some of the hydrogen bonds and London dispersion forces between the water molecules. The water molecules then form ion-dipole forces with the ions.

Hydrogen bonds do not form between ions and water molecules in this process. Also, ion-dipole forces in the solute do not break because ionic compounds do not have ion-dipole forces.
