A solution is a homogenous mixture.

Homogenous mixture has the same

properties throughout the sample. It
means that the substances mixed
thoroughly, after stirring, appeared as one
substance. You can no longer distinguish
one component from the other.
An example is a mixture of sugar in
water. When sugar dissolves in water, the
two substances appear as one. The sugar
particles can no longer be identified.
However, the taste of the water proves
that the sugar was not lost after mixing.
Its chemical property is retained and so
the water taste sweet.
 There are four types of solutions.
All these types are homogenous.

1. Solid in liquid
A solid substances dissolved in a
liquid substance. Example are sugar
in water, salt in water, juice powder in
water or coffee in water.
 2. Liquid in liquid
a liquid substance can also be
dissolved in another liquid and there
two substances can be mixed
thoroughly. Examples are these
alcohol and water, wine and soda
water, concentrated fruit juice in
water or liquid milk and water.
 3. Gas in liquid
Certain liquids contain gaseous
substances. Soft drinks appear as
liquid, but they actually contain
carbon dioxide gas. These can be
observes when a bottle of soft drink
is shaken or opened, bubbles
appeared and gas is released.
Oxygen is also present in water.
Plants use them during the food-
making process. There is also oxygen
in the blood, and this makes our cells
function well.
 4. gas in gas
air is a very good example of
gas in a gas solution. It is a mixture of
several gases-oxygen, nitrogen, carbon
dioxide and others.

5. Solid in solid
 steel, basically a solution of carbon
atoms in a crystaaline matrixa of iron
atoms.
 alloy like bronze and many others.
 Polymers containing plasticizers.
