Size of solute particles in a solution is in the order of

Explanation:

• Mixtures are constituted by more than one kind of pure form of matter.
• A solution has a solvent and a solute as its components.
• The component of the solution that dissolves the other component in it (usually the component present in larger amounts) is called the solvent.
• The component of the solution that is dissolved in the solvent (usually present in lesser quantity) is called the solute.

Properties of a solution:-

• In a solution there is homogeneity at the particle level.
• The particles of a solution are smaller than 1 nm (10^-9 metre) in diameter. So, they cannot be seen by naked eyes.
• Because of very small particle size, they do not scatter a beam of light passing through the solution. So, the path of light is not visible in a solution.
• The solute particles cannot be separated from the mixture by the process of filtration.
• The solute particles do not settle down when left undisturbed, that is, a solution is stable.
• Size of solute particles in a solution is in the order of 10-7 to 10-8 cm
