Question

homogeneous mixtures are also called solutions. which of the following best describes a solution? choose 1 answer: a solutions contain only one type of substance. b the individual components are chemically bonded together. c the components are evenly distributed, giving them a uniform appearance. d solutions can only exist as liquids.

Explanation:

• Option A: Solutions are mixtures (at least two substances), so A is wrong.
• Option B: In solutions, components are mixed physically, not chemically bonded, so B is wrong.
• Option C: Solutions (homogeneous mixtures) have components evenly distributed, resulting in a uniform appearance. This matches the definition.
• Option D: Solutions can be solid (e.g., alloys), liquid, or gas (e.g., air), so D is wrong.

Answer:

C. The components are evenly distributed, giving them a uniform appearance.
