What is the process of dissociation?
A. A solvent separates the individual molecules in a compound and carries them away, but leaves them chemically unchanged.
B. A solvent separates the atoms of a covalent molecule and carries them away, breaking the substance down into individual ions.
C. A solvent disrupts the lattice-like structure of an ionic compound, causing the ions to combine into a new compound.
D. A solvent disrupts the lattice-like structure of an ionic compound, breaking the compound into individual ions.
