Answer: solvent

Step-by-step explanation:

Solute is the component which is present in smaller proportion and is solid for solid in liquid solution. Example: sugar in sugar solution.

Solvent is the component which is present in larger proportion and is liquid for solid in liquid solution.Example: water in sugar solution.

Organic compounds are those compounds that contain carbon bonded to hydrogen.

Ionic compound is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element.
