Answer:
In chemistry, a solution is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent .

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 the 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. This is why a whole bottle of soft drink has the same taste throughout.
Characteristics of Solution
Solutions have two components, one is solvent and the other is solute.
1. What is a Solvent?
The component that dissolves the other component is called the solvent.
2. What is Solute?
The component(s) that is/are dissolved in the solvent is/are called solute(s).
Generally solvent is present in major proportion compared to the solute. The amount of solute is lesser than the solvent. The solute and solvent can be in any state of matter i.e. solid, liquid and gas.
Solutions that are in the liquid state consist of a solid, liquid or gas dissolved in a liquid solvent. Alloys and air are examples of solid and gaseous solutions, respectively.
3. Solution Examples
The following examples illustrate solvent and solute in some solutions.
Air is a homogeneous mixture of gases. Here both the solvent and the solute are gases.
Sugar syrup is a solution where sugar is dissolved in water using heat. Here, water is the solvent and sugar is the solute.
Tincture of iodine, a mixture of iodine in alcohol. Iodine is the solute whereas alcohol is the solvent.
Properties of Solution
Different properties of solutions are as follows:
It is a homogeneous mixture.
Its particles are too tiny and have a diameter less than 1 nm.
The particles are not visible to naked eyes.
Particles don’t scatter a beam of light passing through it and hence the path of the light is not visible.
Solutes are inseparable from the mixture and do not sediment. A solution is stable.
The components of a mixture cannot be separated using filtration.
Types of Solution
Liquid solutions, such as sugar in water, are the most common kind, but there are also solutions that are gases or solids. Any state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas) can act both as a solute or as a solvent during the formation of a solution. Therefore, depending upon the physical states of solute and solvent, we can classify solutions in nine different types.
