What do you mean by the term solution?

Answer 1

• Definition: A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more components in which the particle size is smaller than 1 nm.
• Common examples of solutions are sugar in water and salt in water solutions, soda water, etc.
• In a solution, all the components appear as a single phase.
• There is particle homogeneity i.e. particles are evenly distributed.
