Question

Which of the following are the properties of a solution?
A: It is a homogeneous mixture.
B: The solute particles are smaller than 1nm in diameter.
C: The solute can be separated by sedimentation.

• A. Only A
• B. A and B only
• C. B and C only
• D. A, B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is B A and B only

Solution is a homogeneous mixture and the particles are smaller than 1nm in diameter (the solute and solvent molecules cannot be distinguished even under a microscope), so they cannot be seen with naked eyes. A solution is stable in nature and cannot be separated by sedimentation.
