Answer:
Solutions are a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. It has homogeneity at the particle level. Usually, people think of it as some liquid with either a solid or a liquid or a gas dissolved in it. However, this is not entirely true. We can also have solid solutions like alloys.
The two components of a solution are the solvent and the solute.

The solute dissolves in the solvent to form a solution. Hence, a solution is a uniform mixture of a solute in a solvent. It is a homogeneous mixture.
The solution comprises the following components:
1. Solute: The substance that dissolves in the solvent is called solute. It is the smaller component in a solution.
2. Solvent: The substance in which the solute dissolves is called the solvent. It is the larger components of a solution.
Taking the example of sugar and water solution, the sugar is the solute and the water is solvent.
