What is the difference between a particle being hydrated versus being solvated?

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. A hydrated particle is surrounded by a shell of water. A solvated molecule is surrounded by a shell of solvent molecules, not necessarily water.

  2. The terms hydrated and solvated mean exactly the same thing.

  3. A hydrated particle has reacted with hydrogen. A solvated particle is dissolved in a solvent.

  4. The word hydrated is used only when the solute is an electrolyte.
