    Hi there!

    When the oxygen produced by photosynthetic plants in the water dissolves in the water, a solution is formed.

    Dissolved oxygen behaves as a solution of O ₂ in water. A solution is a mixture of a solute (the substance that is dissolved) and a solvent (the substance that dissolves the solute). In this case, the solute is the Oxygen and the solvent is the water. No atoms, compounds nor molecules are formed in this process, as there is no chemical reaction involved.
