Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

A solvent is the substance that does the dissolving – it dissolves the solute. In salt solution, water is the solvent. During dissolving, particles of solvent collide with particles of solute. They surround the particles of solute, gradually moving them away until the particles are evenly spread through the solvent.

The molecules are still there.
