If solid particles settle down in a mixture, why is it wrong to call it a solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because particles remain uniformly distributed in a solution
A true solution is homogeneous, so its solute particles remain uniformly dispersed and do not settle under ordinary conditions. Settling indicates relatively large particles and non-uniform composition, characteristics associated with a suspension or another heterogeneous mixture. A solution can contain solid solute and always has a solvent, so the other reasons are incorrect.
