A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two (or more substances).
A homogeneous mixture means that the mixture is just the same throughout.
For examples: - Salt solutions, Sugar solutions, Air, Soda water etc.
Only soluble substances form true
Properties of Solutions
A solution is a homogeneous mixture.
The particles of a solution are smaller than 1 nm (10-9 metre) in diameter. So, they cannot be seen by naked eyes.
Because of very small particle size, they do not scatter a beam of light passing through the solution. So, the path of light is not visible in a solution.
The solute particles cannot be separated from the mixture by the process of filtration. The solute particles do not settle down when left undisturbed, that is, a solution is stable.
A true solution does not scatter light.
Important Note:-
A solution has a solvent and a solute as its components.
The component of the solution that dissolves the other component in it (usually the component present in larger amount) is called the solvent.
The substance which is dissolved in a liquid to make a solution is called solute.
