If components form separate layers in a mixture, why does it fall outside the definition of a solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it is not homogeneous
A true solution must be homogeneous, meaning its components are uniformly distributed and every portion has essentially the same composition. Separate layers show that the composition varies from one region to another, so the mixture is heterogeneous. The presence or absence of gas or liquid is not the defining issue.
