A solvent is any substance which is able to interact with a solute and dissolve it.

A solute is any substance that is able to interact with a solvent and dissolve in it. Usually, the solute must posses similar intermolecular forces as the solvent.

For this reason, polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents while nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents. In polar solutes, the ions or dipoles of the solute are able to interact with the dipoles of the solvent thereby pulling the solute particles apart in order to have solvent - solute interaction.
