Is there any chemical name for the solutions of ions in water? I want to find out the name given to an aqueous solution of ions such as $\ce{Na+}$ and $\ce{Cl-}$ ions in water. Would it be something like aqueous solution of ions?




There is no specific name but *some* authors may use the word aquated when they wish emphasize that the ion is surrounded by /weakly bound/coordinated to water. Google Scholar shows that about 10,000 documents use this term.


Examples:


Extreme case (i) aquated electron (ii) aquated $\ce{Na+}$ etc.
