Answer

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. The characteristics of a solution are as follows-

1. A solution mainly consists of two components - a solute and a solvent. A solute is the one which gets dissolved in        the solvent. E.g. sugar (solute) in water (solvent).

2. The particles of solute in a solution are of extremely small size  even to be seen by a microscope.

3. The solute particles cannot be separated from the soloution by any physical means like filtration, centrifugation,             sedimentation etc.

4. The amount of solute in a given quantity of solution represents its concentration. More solute indicates more                 concentration (concentrate) and less solute indicates dilute solution.

5. Addition of solute affects the boiling point, freezing point and vapour pressure of solution.

6. A solution does not allow scattering of light beams through it.
