Question

What is meant by solution and
colligative properties?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In chemistry, colligative properties are those properties of solutions that depend on the ratio of the number of solute particles to the number of solvent molecules in a solution, and not on the nature of the chemical species present. Colligative properties include: Relative lowering of vapour pressure (Raoult's law)

Answer 2

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances on molecular level. The constituent of the mixture present in a smaller amount is called the solute and the one present in a larger amount is called the solvent.

Colligative properties of solutions are properties that depend upon the concentration of solute molecules or ions, but not upon the identity of the solute. Colligative properties include vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure.
