Which term describes a mixture that forms when one or more substances dissolve in another and is homogeneous?

• A. Pure substance
• B. Element
• C. Mixture
• D. Solution

Answer: (D)

When one substance dissolves in another, the result is a solution—a homogeneous mixture with a uniform composition throughout. You can’t see separate parts because the dissolved particles are spread evenly at the molecular level. A pure substance has a single, fixed composition and isn’t a mix of different substances. An element is a pure substance made of one kind of atom. A mixture contains two or more substances, and it can be either uniform (like a solution) or not uniform (a heterogeneous mixture). So the answer is a solution.
