= SOLUTIONS = Generally, when we hear about the word Solutions we think its nothing but solving a problem.

Now lets us define what is "Solution in Chemistry ''.

Definition
It is a homogenous mixture composed of two or more substances.In this mixture, solute is dissolved in solvent.Solute and Solvent are two substances.
 * SOLUTE is a minor substance which is dissolved.


 * SOLVENT is a liquid in which solute is dissolved.

TYPES OF SOLUTIONS:
1.Gaseous solutions:solute is gas and solvents may be solids,liquids or gases.

2.Liquid solutions: solute is liquid and solvents may be solids,liquids or gases.

3.Solid solutions: solute is solid and solvents may be solids,liquids or gases.

These are further divided into sub types.Lets understand by looking into states of matter and Examples.

CHARACTERISTICS OF SOLUTIONS:
* Solution is a homogeneous mixture.

* Solution is Stable.

* The particles of solute in a solution cannot be seen properly.

* After solution,solute and solvent cannot be seperated.

For the better understanding of solutions and its types you can look the various examples in Nature.
