Solutions: Components and Classification

Which characteristic is essential for a mixture to be classified as a solution?

A solution is composed of solute particles dispersed throughout a solvent.

What two components are necessary to form a solution?

The classification of solutions is based on the phase of its components, ______________, and concentration.

Match each type of solution with a suitable example:
