Which statement correctly shows the homogeneous nature of a solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Small samples of the same solution have the same composition
Homogeneity means that a solution has the same composition throughout, so small samples taken from its top, middle, or bottom contain the components in the same relative proportions. Option A expresses this defining property. Separate layers, settling of solute, or floating of solvent indicate non-uniform behaviour and are not general properties of a true solution. Hence A is correct.
